At the risk of stirring controversy, let’s say that modernity in Lyon begins with the construction of the Fourvière Basilica in 1884. The city then shines through its history and spirit of innovation. Nine years later, the Lumière brothers gave birth to cinema—an art form that would forever change the way we see the world. The city unfolds around the Presqu’île and the Saône River, revealing nearby treasures: the traboules of Vieux Lyon, its riverbanks, the Croix-Rousse, and the sumptuous Tête d’Or Park.

But beyond its heritage landmarks, Lyon reveals itself through its deep connection to cinema. Every façade, every dish, every view becomes a set, a story, an homage. With Lorens, follow the footsteps of the Lumière brothers’ first films to today’s productions, and experience a unique immersion at the crossroads of history, gastronomy, and the seventh art.
