The Presqu'île
The peninsula between the Rhône and Saône holds a dense, elongated centre with Place Bellecour at its heart, framed on both sides by quays and a steady rhythm of bridges.

About this Lyon map poster
Lyon is built where the Saône meets the Rhône, and the two rivers give the city an unusually legible shape. Between them runs the Presqu'île, a long, narrow peninsula that holds the historic commercial centre, Place Bellecour and the Hôtel de Ville. At its southern tip, the former docklands of Confluence have been rebuilt as a modern district where the two rivers meet.
West of the Saône, Fourvière hill rises steeply above Vieux Lyon. Its basilica can be seen from across the city, and its slopes hold the remains of Roman Lugdunum, once a capital of Gaul. North of the Presqu'île, the Croix-Rousse hill was home to the silk weavers, whose covered passageways, the traboules, still run through buildings and courtyards. The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
East of the Rhône the city opens into a broader grid, and Parc de la Tête d'Or, one of the largest urban parks in France, curves along the riverbank. A Lyon map poster shows all of this at once: bridges linking the banks, hills pressing against the old town and the orderly east bank spreading toward the plain.

Fourvière and Vieux Lyon
On the west bank, the medieval streets of Vieux Lyon are squeezed between the Saône and the steep slope of Fourvière, where winding roads climb to the basilica.
Parc de la Tête d'Or
The large park on the left bank of the Rhône shows as a broad open area with a lake, a clear green anchor against the regular blocks of the east side.

Why Lyon
A map that means something
People come to Lyon to study, eat and work, and many stay longer than planned. A map of its rivers and hills is a quiet reminder of an apartment on the Croix-Rousse slope, a café on the Presqu'île or a first job near Part-Dieu station.
Set the title and subtitle to anything you like, from an arrondissement to the day you arrived, and edit the coordinates line. Each of the five styles, Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand, shows Lyon's rivers differently. HD files cost $9, and prints ship from partners in 30+ countries.
