| 説明 | A guided walking tour of Vieux Lyon. The tour would take around an hour.The Vieux Lyon (English: Old Lyon) is the largest Renaissance district of Lyon in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon.This zone is served by the metro line D In 1954, Vieux-Lyon, the city's oldest district, became the first site in France to be protected under the Malraux law to protect France's cultural sites. Covering an area of 424 hectares at the foot of the Fourvière hill, it is one of Europe’s most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods. There are three distinct sections: Saint Jean, Saint Paul and Saint Georges.The Saint Jean quarter: in the Middle Ages, this was the focus of political and religious power. The Cathedral of St Jean, seat of the Primate of Gaul, a title still conferred upon the archbishop of Lyon, is a good example of Gothic architecture. The Manecanterie adjoining the cathedral is one of Lyon's few extant Romanesque buildings. Formerly a choir school, it now houses the museum of the cathedral’s treasures. Saint Jean is also home to the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets, located in a building that was the Golden Cross Inn in the 15th century.The Saint-Paul section: in the 15th and 16th centuries predominately Italian banker-merchants moved into sumptuous urban residences here called hôtels particuliers. The Hôtel Bullioud and the Hôtel de Gadagne are two magnificent examples and the latter now houses the Lyon Historical Museum and the International Puppet Museum. The Loge du Change stands as testimony to the period when trade fairs made the city wealthy. The Saint Paul church with its Romanesque lantern tower and its spectacular spire mark the section’s northern extremity.The Saint Georges section: silk weavers settled here beginning in the 16th century before moving to the Croix Rousse hill in the 19th century. In 1844, the architect Pierre Bossan rebuilt the St George's Church on the banks of the Saônein a neo-Gothic style. In the Middle Ages, when there were only a few parallel streets between the hill and the Saône, the first traboules were built. Derived from the Latin trans-ambulare, meaning to pass through, traboules are corridors through buildings and their courtyards, connecting one street directly with another. Visitors can discover an architectural heritage of galleries and spiral staircases in these secret passageways, as unexpected as they are unique.The walking tour ended in Place Saint-Jean near Lyon Cathedral.The Place Saint-Jean is an old pedestrian square in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon (a.k.a. the "vieux Lyon", which means the oldest borough of Lyon). It is located in front of the Roman Catholic cathedral of Saint-Jean.The square belongs to the zone classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO.The Place Saint-Jean is located near the metro station: Vieux-Lyon – Cathédrale Saint-Jean. It is served by line D.Place Saint-Jean (Lyon)It is the oldest place in Lyon.On January 10, 1794 , the square was renamed Place du Temple de la Raison (or Place de la Reason).In 1844 a fountain designed by the Lyon architect René Dardel is built in the center of the square. It reproduces a small ancient temple in a neo-renaissance style housing a sculpture of Saint John the Baptist baptizing Christ , realized by Jean-Marie Bonnassieux .In the 1850s , the street connecting the square to Tramassac Street was enlarged (in yellow on the map). Later, this street had to be further enlarged and aligned in order to completely open the square whose eastern facades were to be aligned. The Rue des Antonins was also to be enlarged. This part of the project (orange part on the plan) has never been realized. In 1852 a wholesale market was inaugurated on this square. A project carried out in the 1930s even began to transplant this function of wholesale trade to the whole of the district of Vieux Lyon by making a tabula rasa of the preexisting buildings; This project is adjourned and then definitively buried by the Second World War.HD video clip |
