Illuminated SaÃÂ´ne quays, and Notre Dame de FourviÃÂ¨re in the background, in Lyon, in the RhÃÂ´ne, France

Lyon, a French city in the historic RhÃÂ´ne-Alpes region, is located at the junction of the RhÃÂ´ne and the SaÃÂ´ne rivers. Its center bears witness to 2,000 years of history, with its Roman amphitheater of the Three Gauls, the medieval and Renaissance architecture of Vieux Lyon and the modernity of the Confluence district on the Peninsula. The Traboules, covered passages between the buildings, link Old Lyon to the hill of La Croix-Rousse.
