Notre-Dame de Fourvière Basilica.

A short climb or trip on the funicular to Fourvière is rewarded with the best views over the city. In clear weather you can see as far as the Alps. There is another UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the hill. The Notre-Dame Basilica watches over the city with its four towers.

Birthplace of the Cinema.

The Lumière brothers, who were from Lyon, invented motion pictures. In 1895, they put on the first public cinema show at which admission was charged in Paris with the cinématographe that they had developed. Their parental home, an Art Nouveau villa which is worth visiting in its own right, is now home to a museum about the brothers' achievements which will appeal to everyone, not just cinephiles.

États-Unis Quarter.

Built in the 1920s and 30s as a modern working-class district, this quarter developed into a city problem zone during the 60s. Later, the CitéCréation group of artists helped revamp the area with their paintings on the protruding façades. Now there is an 800 square metre open-air museum there.
