and a resplendent MuseeDesBeauxArts which is housed in a 17th century Abbey. Look out for the underground carparks that were co-designed by architects and artists, great fun.
Since 1985 Lyon has been desperately trying to improve self-image and reputation, so a lot of money has been invested into the lighting of the city.
