About Lyon
Lyon, France’s second biggest agglomeration after Paris, boasts a rich history that graciously blends in with the city’s dynamic present. Picturesquely located on the rivers Rhone and Saone, surrounded with hills, the city is southeastern France’s premier destination, for business travellers and tourists alike. The city is packed with clubs and bars, both in the old centre and the newer outskirts. While there, be sure to visit the Saint-Jean district in the Lyon’s Old Town, one of the oldest and largest Renaissance districts in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As France’s second largest city in terms of gay and lesbian establishments, Lyon offers plenty of other activities. Its gay districts are located near the Quais de Saône, the Terreaux, Bellecour Square and within the Croix Rousse Quarter, and Gay Pride takes place every June.
