Product Description
Presqu’île or the heart of Lyon beats between Rhone and Saone, two rivers that are running through Lyon. It beats in the rythm of vivid life of commercial and luxury streets. The so called “almost island”, extended multiple times throughout the history, presents the first steps of urbanization of Lyon, from the beginning of Renaissance.
Profoundly transformed in the 19th century, this quartier starts at the square Bellecour ,the biggest square in Europe all the way to the square Terreaux where you can see the great buildings of City Hall and Fine Arts Museum. The buildings of the 19th century witness the opulence of bourgeoisie together with fontaines and emblematic houses.
Lets walk along the Rue Mercière to find the traces of this era!
