Welcome to the Greater Lyon Tourist Office media centre. Journalists, bloggers, content creators, this space is for you! 

Located at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers in the shadow of the imposing Fourvière basilica, Lugdunum surprises visitors and residents alike with its human scale. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this alternative to Paris combines history, culture and gastronomy infused with a strong local identity. Lyon offers visitors a rich variety of authentic experiences including the Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse food market, spectacular murals, silk weaving workshops and the famous "traboules", secret passageways connecting the cobbled streets of Old Lyon. In keeping with Lyon's commitment to developing more responsible urban tourism, visitors are now encouraged to explore the city on foot, by bike or on water. 

Timely and evergreen content, visuals and videos… a wide range of resources is available to help you prepare your articles and reports!
