The Cathedral of Lyon : a gem to decipher. The architecture, the stained-glass windows and their light, the liturgical furniture, the paintings, the sacred music... so many things bear witness to the history of this place since the 12th century.

The cathedral of Lyon is an iconic monument of the city as well as a medieval artistic masterpiece. Built from the 12th to the 15th century, it is a witness of History. Indeed, two consecutive Coucils took place here during the 13th century and many people have been welcomed : popes, kings, emperors and many other celebrities.

Even though the cathedral suffered from damage during religious wars and the French Revolution, restorations have been conducted and made the bulding look a splendid as it did before. Nowadays, it is particulary luminous thanks to its bright stones and its high windows. It enables everyone to enjoy the well-adjusted dimensions of the bulding and, of course, its a artistic works of art : paintings, sculptures, furniture, organs, stained-glass windows....

The team of tour guides of the cathedral welcomes people from Lyon and abroad, who have the faith or not, everyday (except Monday), in order to make you discover the treasures of the cathedral.
