History

Lyon began as Roman Lugdunum in 43 BC and later became a major Renaissance printing center and the heart of France’s historic silk industry.

Conservation

Respect private traboule courtyards—many are on private property; avoid littering and use marked paths along the river to reduce impact on urban wildlife.
