Lyon, a French city in the historic Rhône-Alpes region, is located at the junction of the Rhône and the Saône. Its centre bears witness to 2,000 years of history, with its Roman amphitheatre of the Three Gauls, the medieval and Renaissance architecture of Old Lyon and the modernity of the Confluence district on the Presqu'île. Les Traboules, covered passages between buildings, connect Old Lyon to the hill of La Croix-Rousse.
