Cheapest flights to Lyon
Lyon is physically the second biggest city in France, a result of its uncontrolled urban sprawl. Viewed at high speed from the Autoroute du Soleil, the impression it gives is of a major confluence of rivers and roads, around which only petrochemical industries thrive. In fact, from the sixteenth century right up until the postwar dominance of metalworks and chemicals, silk was the city's main industry, generating the wealth which left behind a multitude of Renaissance buildings. But what has stamped its character most on Lyon is the commerce and banking that grew up with its industrial expansion.
It is this that gives the town its staid, stolid and somewhat austere air
Lyon is organized into arrondissements, of which there are nine. A visit to Lyon will necessarily take you into the Presqu'île, the area between the Rivers Saône and Rhône, and you are more than likely to spend some time in Vieux-Lyon on the west bank of the Saône, as well as the east bank of the Rhône, including the modern development known as La Part-Dieu.
