Places to visit in Lyon

• Lyon Opera House: The first Lyon Opera House in 1756 was created by the architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot, who was also responsible for designing the Pantheon in Paris. After almost a hundred years, in 1831, the new Lyon Opera House was opened when the original was deemed to be small. Once again after another hundred years, the Opera House underwent another transformation. This time it was a collaborative effort between French scenography company Ducks Sceno, French architect Jean Nouvel and acoustician Frits Peutz. The opera house lies right at the heart of the city and it is quite a culturally significant monument.
• Lyon Cathedral: The Lyon Saint Jean Cathedral stands out in Vieux Lyon and it is a mix of Gothic and Roman style. The cathedral almost took over three centuries to finish- from 1175 to 1480. It reflects in the architecture, this drawn-out building process and the story of the city. The cathedral has survived renovation work, religious wars, and political disputes. The cathedral is dedicated to St. Stephen and St. John the Baptist. It is now one of the most important symbols of Lyon.
