A stone’s throw from the Hotel Le Royal, on the other bank of the Saône, lies one of the largest preserved medieval quarters in Europe. Vieux Lyon is famous for its tiled roofs, its Renaissance jewels inherited from the reign of Catherine de Medici, and its countless traboules where it is good to get lost.
Cafés, shops, artisans and typical corks crowd in these alleys classified as world heritage by Unesco, around the imposing Saint-Jean cathedral.
