What to do and see in Vieux Lyon - Quarantaine, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

March 18, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

The Weight of Oneself Sculpture

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

The Weight of Oneself Sculpture is an incredibly amazing sculpture, more so for its symbolism, than anything else. It is located outside the Palais de Justice, in Lyon. You would have to ask yourself some important questions after studying this sculpture. It depicts a man carrying in his arms another. He may have saved him from drowning or some such incident. It turns out the men are identical. The saviour is actually his own saviour and burden at the same time. Something to really think about!
