Lyon:
Lyon is the third-largest city and second-largest urban area of France. It is located in the country's east-central part at the confluence of the rivers Rhône and Saône, about 470 km (292 mi) south from Paris, 320 km (199 mi) north from Marseille and 56 km (35 mi) northeast from Saint-Étienne. Inhabitants of the city are called Lyonnais.
Lyon had a population of 513,275 in 2015. It is the capital of the Metropolis of Lyon and the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The Lyon metropolitan area had a population of 2,265,375 in 2014, the second-largest urban area in France. The city is known for its cuisine and gastronomy, and historical and architectural landmarks; part of it is a registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lyon was historically an important area for the production and weaving of silk.
The Rhône and Saône converge to the south of the historic city centre forming a peninsula – the Presqu'île – bounded by two large hills to the west and north and a large plain eastward. Place Bellecour is located on the Presqu'île between the two rivers and is the third-largest public square in France. The broad, pedestrian-only Rue de la République leads north from Place Bellecour.
The northern hill is La Croix-Rousse, known as the hill that works because it is traditionally home to many small silk workshops, an industry for which the city has long been renowned.
The western hill is the Fourvière, known as the hill that prays because it is the location for the basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, several convents, and the residence of the Archbishop. The district, Vieux Lyon, also hosts the Tour métallique (a highly visible TV tower, replicating the last stage of the Eiffel Tower) and one of the city's funicular railways. Fourvière, along with portions of the Presqu'île and much of La Croix-Rousse, is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
East of the Rhône from the Presqu'île is a large flat area upon which sits much of modern Lyon and contains most of the city's population. Situated in this area is the urban centre of La Part-Dieu which clusters the landmark structures Tour Part-Dieu, Tour Oxygène, and Tour Swiss Life, as well as the city's primary railway station, Gare de Lyon-Part-Dieu.
North of this district is the sixth arrondissement, which is home to one of Europe's largest urban parks, the Parc de la Tête d'or, as well as Lycée du Parc and Interpol's world headquarters.

The Rhône and Saône rivers converge to the south of the historic city centre forming a peninsula or Presqu'île. There are two large hills, one to the west and one to the north of the city centre, as well as a large plain which sprawls eastward. West of the Presqu'île, the original medieval city (Vieux Lyon) was built on the west bank of the Saône river at the foot of the Fourvière hill. This area, along with portions of the Presqu'île and much of the Croix-Rousse is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To the west is Fourvière, known as the hill that prays. This is the location for the highly decorated basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, several convents, the palace of the Archbishop, the Tour métallique (a highly visible TV tower, replicating the last stage of the Eiffel Tower) and a funicular (a railway on a steep hill). To the north is the Croix-Rousse, known as the hill that works. This area is traditionally home to many small silk workshops, an industry for which the city was once renowned.
Place Bellecour is located on the Presqu'île between the two rivers and is the third largest public square in France. The broad, pedestrian-only Rue de la République leads north from Place Bellecour. The 2nd arrondissement has many of the finest old residential buildings in Lyon and the area is known for its concentration of old Lyonnaise Catholic families, particularly in the Ainay part of the arrondissement.

Lyon est une commune française située au confluent du Rhône et de la Saône. C'est la commune où siège le conseil de la Métropole de Lyon, le chef-lieu de l'arrondissement de Lyon, de la circonscription départementale du Rhône et de la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Ses habitants s'appellent les Lyonnais.
Lyon est en situation de carrefour géographique, au nord du couloir naturel de la vallée du Rhône (qui s'étend de Lyon à Marseille). Située entre le Massif central à l'ouest et le massif alpin à l'est, la ville de Lyon occupe une position stratégique dans la circulation nord-sud en Europe. Ancienne capitale des Gaules du temps de l'Empire romain, Lyon est le siège d'un archevêché dont le titulaire porte le titre de primat des Gaules. Lyon devint une ville très commerçante et une place financière de premier ordre à la Renaissance. Sa prospérité économique a été portée successivement par la soierie, puis par l'apparition des industries notamment textiles, chimiques, et plus récemment, par l'industrie de l'image.
Lyon, historiquement ville industrielle, a accueilli de nombreuses industries pétrochimiques le long du Rhône, nommé le couloir de la chimie. Après le départ et la fermeture des industries textiles, Lyon s'est progressivement recentrée sur les secteurs d'activité de techniques de pointe, telles que la pharmacie et les biotechnologies. Lyon est également la deuxième ville étudiante de France, avec quatre universités et plusieurs grandes écoles. Enfin, la ville a conservé un patrimoine architectural important allant de l'époque romaine au XXe siècle en passant par la Renaissance et, à ce titre, les quartiers du Vieux Lyon, de la colline de Fourvière, de la Presqu'île et des pentes de la Croix-Rousse sont inscrits sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
Par sa population, Lyon constitue la troisième commune de France, avec 506 615 habitants au dernier recensement de 2014. Lyon est ville-centre de la 2e unité urbaine de France, laquelle comptait 1 620 331 habitants en 2014 et de la 2e aire urbaine (2 265 375 habitants en 2014) de France. Elle est la préfecture de la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes et le siège de la métropole de Lyon, qui rassemble 59 communes et 1 354 476 habitants en 2014. La ville de Lyon exerce une attraction d'importance nationale et européenne. Son importance dans les domaines bancaires, financiers, commerciaux, technologiques, ou encore les arts et les divertissements, font aujourd'hui de la ville de Lyon la deuxième ville mondiale de rang « Beta » selon le GaWC, devançant des capitales mondiales telles que Quito ou Abu Dhabi. Lyon est également le siège d'Interpol depuis 1989.

Lyon, also written Lyons in English, is the third largest city in France and centre of the second largest metropolitan area in the country. It is the capital of the Rhone-Alpes region and the Rhône département. It is known as a gastronomic and historical city with a vibrant cultural scene. It is also the birthplace of cinema.
Founded by the Romans, with many preserved historical areas, Lyon is the archetype of the heritage city, as recognised by UNESCO. Lyon is a vibrant metropolis which makes the most out of its unique architectural, cultural and gastronomic heritage, its dynamic demographics and economy and its strategic location between Northern and Southern Europe. It is more and more open to the world, with an increasing number of students and international events.
The Rhône and Saône converge to the south of the historic city centre, forming a peninsula – the Presqu'île – bounded by two large hills to the west and north and a large plain eastward. Place Bellecour is located on the Presqu'île between the two rivers and is the third-largest public square in France. The broad, pedestrian-only Rue de la République leads north from Place Bellecour.
The northern hill is La Croix-Rousse, known as the hill that works because it is traditionally home to many small silk workshops, an industry for which the city has long been renowned. The western hill is the Fourvière, known as the hill that prays because it is the location for the basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, several convents, and the residence of the Archbishop. The district, Vieux Lyon, also hosts the Tour métallique (a highly visible TV tower, replicating the last stage of the Eiffel Tower) and one of the city's funicular railways. Fourvière, along with portions of the Presqu'île and much of La Croix-Rousse, is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
East of the Rhône from the Presqu'île is a large flat area upon which sits much of modern Lyon and contains most of the city's population. Situated in this area is the urban centre of La Part-Dieu which clusters the landmark structures Tour Part-Dieu, Tour Oxygène, and Tour Swiss Life, as well as the city's primary railway station, Gare de Lyon-Part-Dieu. North of this district is the sixth arrondissement, which is home to one of Europe's largest urban parks, the Parc de la Tête d'or, as well as Lycée du Parc and Interpol's world headquarters.
The city centre is not so big and most attractions can be reached from each other on foot. The walk from Place des Terreaux to Place Bellecour, for example, is about 20 min. The rule of thumb is that metro stations are generally about 10 min walk apart. Be careful when crossing major axes: traffic is dense and running red lights is a very popular sport.
A lot to see such as :
The view from Fourvière basilica, and the basilica itself.
Streets and traboules in Vieux Lyon, St Jean cathedral.
Traboules in Croix-Rousse.
Musées Gadagne.
Parc de la Tête d'Or.
Musée urbain Tony Garnier and Etats-Unis neighbourhood.
St Irénée church, Montée du Gourguillon, St Georges neighbourhood.
A drink on Place Sathonay.
St Bruno church.
Parc de Gerland.
Gratte-ciel neighbourhood in Villeurbanne.
It is generally not difficult to find a hotel room in Lyon, except for the Fête des Lumières and during some important professional trade shows like SIRHA (food, hotels and restaurants) and POLLUTEC (environment technology), when every last room in and around Lyon is booked. The traditional restaurants in Lyon are called bouchons; the origin of the word is unclear (it literally means cork). They appeared at the end of the 19th century and flourished in the 1930s, when the economic crisis forced wealthy families to fire their cooks, who opened their own restaurants for a working-class clientele.

LYON - France Travel Guide | Around The World
Lyon , also written Lyons in English, is the third largest city in France and centre of the second largest metropolitan area in the country. It is the capital of the Rhone-Alpes region and the Rhône département. It is known as a gastronomic and historical city with a vibrant cultural scene. It is also the birthplace of cinema.
Founded by the Romans, with many preserved historical areas, Lyon is the archetype of the heritage city, as recognised by UNESCO. Lyon is a vibrant metropolis which makes the most out of its unique architectural, cultural and gastronomic heritage, its dynamic demographics and economy and its strategic location between Northern and Southern Europe. It is more and more open to the world, with an increasing number of students and international events.
The city itself has about 480,000 inhabitants. However, the direct influence of the city extends well over its administrative borders, with the population of Greater Lyon (which includes 57 towns or communes): at about 2.1 million. Lyon and its metropolitan area are rapidly growing and getting younger, because of their economic attractiveness.
Get in :
Lyon's Saint-Exupéry Airport (IATA: LYS) (formerly known as Satolas), some 25 km east of Lyon, is a rapidly developing airport. It still hosts few intercontinental flights, the only regular flight from North-America is with Air Canada from Montréal, but can easily be reached via a European hub (Paris, London, Frankfurt etc). Air France serves most airports in France and major European airports. EasyJet serves a number of destinations in Europe (including London, Berlin, Brussels, Rome, Edinburgh and Madrid) along with a few domestic destinations which are not easily reached by train (Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nice). Most other major European airlines also operate flights between Lyon and their respective hubs.
Grenoble-Isère Airport (IATA: GNB) is actually about midway between Lyon and Grenoble and is served by some low-cost airlines. There are bus services from Grenoble-Isère Airport to Lyon.
By train
From the rest of France, train is generally the most convenient way to reach the city, except for some regions, the Southwest for example. Lyon has three main train stations serving national and regional destinations:
Perrache (M/T: Perrache) is the historical station. It is just a short walk away from Place Bellecour and generally more handy if you are staying in the city centre.
Part-Dieu station (M/T: Part-Dieu) was opened with the first TGV line in 1981. It is in the heart of Lyon's main business district.
Saint-Exupéry (the station is outside the city and serves the airport).
Lyon may not have world-famous monuments such as the Eiffel tower or the Statue of Liberty, but it offers very diverse neighbourhoods which are interesting to walk around and hide architectural marvels. As time goes by, the city also becomes more and more welcoming for pedestrians and cyclists. So a good way to explore it may be to get lost somewhere and enjoy what comes up, and not to always follow the guide...
A good point for visitors is that most attractions will not cost you a cent: churches, traboules, parks, etc. For those intending to visit several museums (which are almost the only attractions you cannot see for free), the Lyon City Card may be of interest. Available from the Tourist office, it costs €21 for one day, €31 for 2 days and €41 for 3 days. It includes unlimited rides on the public transport network, free or reduced entry fee to major museums and exhibitions and one guided tour per day per person (Vieux Lyon, Croix-Rousse, etc.). The price is still a bit high, so count before you buy to see if this is a good deal considering your plans.
Do not hesitate to buy a detailed map with a street index from a book shop or a newsagent; many places of interest or good restaurants are located in small streets you will not find on simplified maps, such as the ones you can get from the Tourist office.
Whatever the time of year (except for the Fête des Lumières), tourists are not very numerous yet, but they concentrate in a few small areas, especially Fourvière and Vieux Lyon, where the pedestrian streets are just as crowded as the Champs-Elysees sidewalks on sunny weekends.
After Venice, the Old Lyon, a narrow strip along the right bank of the Saône, is the largest Renaissance area in Europe (well, it's actually far behind Venice). Its current organization, with narrow streets mainly parallel to the river, dates back to the Middle Ages. The buildings were erected between the 15th and the 17th centuries, notably by wealthy Italian, Flemish and German merchants who settled in Lyon where four fairs were held each year. At that time, the buildings of Lyon were said to be the highest in Europe. The area was entirely refurbished in the 1980s and 1990s. It now offers the visitor colorful, narrow cobblestone streets; there are some interesting craftmen's shops but also many tourist traps.

A Walk Around the Beautiful City Of Marseille, France
is the prefecture of the department of Bouches-du-Rhône and region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. It is located on the Mediterranean coast near the mouth of the Rhône. The city covers an area of 93 sq mi. and had a population of 870,018 in 2016. Its metropolitan area, which extends over 1,225 sq mi. is the third-largest in France after those of Paris and Lyon, with a population of 1,831,500 as of 2010.
Known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as Massalia. Marseille was an important European trading centre and remains the main commercial port of the French Republic. Marseille is now France's largest city on the Mediterranean coast and the largest port for commerce, freight and cruise ships. The city was European Capital of Culture in 2013 and European Capital of Sport in 2017; it hosted matches at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2016. It is home to Aix-Marseille University.
Marseille is the third-largest metropolitan area in France after Paris and Lyon. To the east, starting in the small fishing village of Callelongue on the outskirts of Marseille and stretching as far as Cassis, are the Calanques, a rugged coastal area interspersed with small fjord-like inlets. Farther east still are the Sainte-Baume 3,763 ft. mountain ridge rising from a forest of deciduous trees, the city of Toulon and the French Riviera. To the north of Marseille, beyond the low Garlaban and Etoile mountain ranges, is the 1,011 m 3,317 ft Mont Sainte Victoire. To the west of Marseille is the former artists' colony of l'Estaque; farther west are the Côte Bleue, the Gulf of Lion and the Camargue region in the Rhône delta. The airport lies to the north west of the city at Marignane on the Étang de Berre.
The city's main thoroughfare (the wide boulevard called the Canebière) stretches eastward from the Old Port to the Réformés quarter. Two large forts flank the entrance to the Old Port—Fort Saint-Nicolas on the south side and Fort Saint-Jean on the north. Farther out in the Bay of Marseille is the Frioul archipelago which comprises four islands, one of which, If, is the location of Château d'If, made famous by the Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo. The main commercial centre of the city intersects with the Canebière at Rue St Ferréol and the Centre Bourse (one of the city's main shopping malls). The centre of Marseille has several pedestrianised zones, most notably Rue St Ferréol, Cours Julien near the Music Conservatory, the Cours Honoré-d'Estienne-d'Orves off the Old Port and the area around the Hôtel de Ville.

LYON FRANCE
Lyon est une ville française, située dans l'est de la France, au confluent du Rhône et de la Saône. C'est le chef-lieu du département du Rhône et de la région Rhône-Alpes.
Ses habitants s'appellent les Lyonnais. Lyon est en position de carrefour géographique, au nord du couloir naturel de la vallée du Rhône (qui s'étend de Lyon à Marseille).
Située entre le Massif central à l'ouest, et le massif alpin à l'est, la ville de Lyon occupe une position stratégique dans la circulation Nord-Sud en Europe. Ancienne capitale des Gaules au sein de l'Empire romain, Lyon est le siège d'un archevêché dont le titulaire a le titre de primat des Gaules.
Lyon devint une ville de foire à partir du Moyen-Âge, puis une place financière de premier ordre de la Renaissance à la fin du XIXe siècle.
Sa prospérité économique a été portée successivement par le monopole de la soie, puis par l'apparition des industries notamment textiles et chimiques. Lyon est historiquement une ville industrielle, et accueille donc de nombreuses industries pétrochimiques le long de la Saône et du Rhône, dans le couloir de la chimie.
Après le départ et la fermeture des industries textiles, Lyon s'est progressivement recentrée sur les secteurs d'activité de haute-technologie, telles que la pharmacie et les biotechnologies.
Lyon est également la deuxième ville étudiante de France, avec trois universités et de nombreuses écoles d'ingénieurs.
Enfin, la ville a conservé un patrimoine architectural important allant de l'époque romaine au XXe siècle en passant par la Renaissance et, à ce titre, est inscrite au Patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.
Par sa population, Lyon est la deuxième ville de France si l'on prend en compte toute l'aire urbaine ou celle de son unité urbaine, ou troisième (après Paris et Marseille) si l'on compte uniquement la population intra-muros.
Elle est au cœur de la deuxième région urbaine de France avec ses 2.9 million d'habitants. Capitale de la région Rhône-Alpes, la ville de Lyon exerce une attraction d'importance nationale et européenne, et bénéficie ces deux dernières décennies d'un afflux de population.
Le nom de la ville de Lyon a changé à plusieurs reprises, depuis sa fondation à l'époque de l'Empire romain.
L'étymologie du nom Lugdunum semble dériver de deux anciens mots gaulois, le dieu Lug et la forteresse dunos, désignant ensemble la forteresse de Lug.
Le titre officiel de la ville à l'époque romaine fut Caput Galliae, la Capitale des Gaules, surnom qui perdure aujourd'hui pour la désigner, et pour qualifier l'archevêque de Lyon de Primat des Gaules.
Au fil des siècles, le nom de Lugdunum se simplifie : « Loudoun » est cité par un géographe arabe du VIIIe siècle, et « Lion » ou « Lyon » apparaît au XIIIe siècle.
Lyon possède un patrimoine culturel et artistique d'une grande valeur.
En effet, deux arts sont nés à Lyon: le cinéma inventé par les frères Lumière et le théâtre de Guignol dont les personnages de Guignol et de son compère Gnafron ont été inventés par Laurent Mourguet.
On peut dire aussi que Lyon a été le berceau du rock français car plusieurs groupes lyonnais ont été influents dans l'hexagone (Rock à Lyon).
La ville possède des infrastructures culturelles modernes et de renommée comme la Maison de la danse de Lyon, l'Auditorium dans le quartier de la Part-Dieu qui abrite l'Orchestre national de Lyon, le théâtre des Célestins et l'Opéra national de Lyon où se sont produits les plus grands chanteurs d'opéra.
Aujourd'hui la créativité artistique est toujours présente avec l'enseignement à l'École nationale des beaux-arts aux Subsistances (anciens entrepôts militaires reconvertis en laboratoire de création artistique consacré aux nouveaux langages du spectacle vivant), mais aussi par de nombreuses expositions dans les différents musées de la ville ou l'organisation de grands évènements culturels. Disposant ainsi d'un patrimoine culturel exceptionnel, la ville brigue le titre de Capitale européenne de la culture pour l'année 2013.
La ville de Lyon (en francoprovençal lyonnais Liyon) fait partie de l'aire francoprovençale.
Le français a doucement remplacé la déclinaison locale qui s'est maintenue jusqu'au XIXe siècle, surtout en zone rurale (le patois).
Cependant, le parler lyonnais conserve certains particularismes de vocabulaire et d'accent réputé traînant et chantant : le son eu serait ajouté à chaque fin de mot et prononcé par ailleurs de manière plus fermée que dans le reste de la France. L'utilisation intempestive du y pour remplacer le le complément d'objet direct inanimé est également caractéristique, exemple : fais-y au lieu de fais-le mais va le voir ne change pas.
