When it comes to Lyon, you can’t get any more central than the Presqu'île. The lively Presqu'île of Lyon is a narrow peninsula located between the Rhône and Saône rivers. It’s here you’ll find the city’s 1st, 2nd, and 4th arrondissements as well as a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
Walk through the Presqu'île’s vibrant and charming commercial streets to discover the true essence of Lyon. Step into a café or restaurant for some local French cuisine and hospitality or venture into one of the district’s luxury shops to browse high-end designer goods.
Culture and history also play an important role in the Presqu'île of Lyon. The Presqu'île contains Place Bellecour, Europe’s largest pedestrian-only open square, and Place des Terreaux. In Places des Terreaux, you’ll stumble across well-known attractions such as Lyon’s City Hall, Lyon’s Museum of Fine Arts, and Bartholdi Fountain.
