Introduction to the Old Town of Lyon: The Old Town of Lyon (Le Vieux Lyon) is located at the foot of the Forville Mountain. It preserves many old residences built from the 15th to the 17th century. The orange-red roofs are bright and eye-catching, and the Saint-Georges is scattered among them. The church, Notre-Dame Saint-Jean and Saint-Paul Cathedral buildings bear witness to Lyon's golden age during the European Renaissance.
