Theatres Romains de Fourviere

A remnant from the era of dominance of the Roman Empire, the ruins of these two amphitheaters are over 2,000 years old.

Reviewed By Jimlockard - Lyon, France

Up on Fourviere Hill, accessible by funicular, you will find the ruins of a large Roman theater and a smaller adjacent meeting place in what was a large Roman settlement in the first Century. Both are now used for concerts in the summer. Easy to explore (but no disabled access to the sites). There is also a museum nearby. Worth visiting, great view, come to a concert if you can.

Theatre Romain (Antique)

Roman theater which seats 13,000.

Reviewed By Michael_SF6310RH - Swansea, United Kingdom

We had a greatly enjoyable cruise on the river Rhone with Riviera Travel (30th May - 6th June 2019). We had to climb a steep hill to the Roman amphitheatre. The view was panoramic from the top but it was quite a climb to the highest seats and it was even more difficult to climb back down. My wife had to cling to the fencing and jump down from seat to seat as the steps were so steep. The theatre was built in the first century AD and was one of the largest in the ancient Roman world with a capacity of 11,000 spectators – remarkable.
