Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière

Perched dramatically on the Fourvière hill overlooking Lyon, this stunning white Romano-Byzantine basilica appears almost otherworldly as it gazes down upon the city below. The interior glows with intricate mosaics and gilded decorations that create an unexpectedly intimate spiritual atmosphere despite the grand architecture. Visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Lyon and the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers from the outdoor terraces.
