Zip codes for Lyon begin with 69 for the Rhône département and end with the number of the arrondissement: 69004 is therefore the zip code for the 4th arrondissement. Special zip codes may be used for businesses. History All periods of Lyon's 2000-year history have left visible traces in the city's architectural and cultural heritage, from Roman ruins to Renaissance palaces to contemporary skyscrapers. It never went through a major disaster (earthquake, fire, extensive bombing...) or a complete redesign by urban planners. Very few cities in the world boast such diversity in their urban structure and architecture. Early traces of settlement date back to 12,000 BC but there is no evidence of continuous occupation prior to the Roman era. Lugdunum, the Roman name of the city, was officially founded in 43 BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus, then Governor of Gaul. The first Roman settlements were on Fourvière hill, and the first inhabitants were probably veterans of Caesar's war campaigns. The development of the city was boosted by its strategic location and it was promoted Capital of Gauls in 27 BC by General Agrippa, emperor Augustus's son-in-law and minister. Large carriageways were then built, providing easy access from all 3 of 37 05/04/2012 19:56 Lyon travel guide - Wikitravel http://wikitravel.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Lyon&printable=yes parts of Gaul. Lugdunum became one of the most prominent The Roman theatre in Fourvière, the most administrative, economic and financial centres in Gaul, along important remain of the Roman city of with Narbonne. The main period of peace and prosperity of the Lugdunum. Roman city was between 69 and 192 AD. The population at that time is estimated between 50,000 and 80,000. Lugdunum consisted of four populated areas: the top of Fourvière hill, the slopes of Croix-Rousse around the Amphithéâtre des Trois Gaules, the Canabae (around where Place Bellecour is today) and the right bank of the Saône river, mainly in what is today St Georges neighbourhood. Lugdunum was the place where the first Christian communities of Gaul appeared. It was also where the first martyrdoms took place, most notably in 177 AD when the young slave Blandine was killed in the Amphithéâtre des Trois Gaules, along with 47 other martyrs. The city lost its status of Capital of Gauls in 297 AD. Then, in the early years of the 4th century, the aqueducts which brought water to the top of Fourvière suddenly stopped functioning. This was due to a lack of funds for their maintenance and security; the lead pipes which carried the water were stolen and could not be replaced. The city was completely deprived of water overnight. This triggered the end of the Roman Lugdunum, which lost a large part of its population and was reorganised around the Saône. In the Middle Ages, the city developed on both banks of the Saône. The name "Lion" or "Lyon" appeared in the 13th century. The early Middle Ages were very troubled politically. Since the political geography of France kept changing, the city belonged successively to multiple provinces. It then belonged to the Holy Roman Empire from 1018 to 1312, when it was given to France at the Vienna Council. At that time, the city was still of limited size but had a large religious influence; in 1078, Pope Gregory VII made the Archbishop of Lyon the highest Catholic dignitary in the former Gaul (Primat des Gaules). In the Renaissance, fiscal advantages and the organisation of numerous trade fairs attracted bankers from Florence and merchants from all over Europe; the city became more and more prosperous and experienced a second golden age. The main industries were silk weaving, introduced in 1536, and printing. Lyon became one of Europe's largest cities and its first financial place, helped by the advantages given by King François I who even considered, at one time, making Lyon the capital of France. Around 1530, the population of Lyon reached 50,000. In the following centuries, Lyon was hurt by the religious wars but remained a major industrial and intellectual centre, while the financial activity moved to Geneva and Switzerland. In the 18th century, half of the inhabitants were silk workers (canuts). The eastern bank of the Rhône was not urbanised before the 18th century, when the swamps (called Brotteaux) were dried out to allow construction. Those massive works were led by engineer Morand. In the meantime, works conducted by Perrache doubled the area of the Presqu'île.

  • Low-Res-Fourvière and Lyon Booklet-4 Print Ready
    2015 2016 Fourvière Our Lady of Fourvière and Lyon Our Lady of Fourvière and Lyon Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.” He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

  • Conférence Du 24 Avril 2010
    Conférence du 24 avril 2010 Prologue : Lyon Cervoise Club Bonjour à tous, Le Lyon Cervoise Club réunit des collectionneurs de tous les objets de brasseries, des amateurs de bonnes bières, des passionnés d’histoire brassicole lyonnaise et d’autres personnes aimant la convivialité du club. Chacun, d’ailleurs, pouvant être collectionneur, amateur, passionné et convivial. A l’initiative de notre président préféré, Jean-Pierre ici dans la salle, nous allons aborder le sujet du jour : Lyon, ses brasseurs et ses brasseries. Christian aux manettes, Eric, Michel et Patric à la causette, nous allons vous donner un aperçu d’une glorieuse histoire lyonnaise avec un grand H. Mais, parlons d’abord du produit La Bière : qu’est-ce donc ? Elle n’a, en fait, jamais été inventée ! Des céréales humides, oubliées dans un récipient au soleil et c’est parti ! Après, ce n’est qu’une question d’évolution du goût et du matériel. Les premières preuves de son existence sont des tablettes d’argile datant de plus de 6000 ans, situées à Sumer en Mésopotamie. Rappelons les ingrédients essentiels d’une bière actuelle : une céréale (généralement de l’orge), de l’eau (plus de 90% de la bière), du houblon, de la levure. L’importance de l’eau ne vous échappe pas. C’est une des raisons de la présence des brasseurs à Lyon qui, en dehors d’avoir été de tous temps un carrefour européen, possède une eau à la qualité incomparable et en quantité inépuisable… La Bière de Lyon doit sa célébrité, entre autres, aux brasseurs d’origine allemande.

    GUIDED TOUR OF THE PENTES DE LA CROIX-ROUSSE - (C) PATRIMOINE-LYON.ORG 2014 01 - Place de la Croix-Rousse – After having taken the subway from the Town Hall station 'Place de la Comedie’, you reach Place de la Croix Rousse, a large square in two parts one of which is adjacent to the eponymous boulevard. Its name comes from a cross built out of a yellow-purple stone from Couzon that was taken away in 1881. A statue of Jacquard, a testimony to the textile history, stands in the middle of the square. The boulevard was called Rue de la Citadelle and Boulevard of the Emperor before 1871. Until 1852 the Boulevard formed the city limits and is now the northern boundary of the Unesco sector. Head to the town hall of the 4th district in the west. Longitude/latitude: 4.831971/45.774499 02 - Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse - Admire the beautiful buildings built from 1850 on the broad boulevard. On every morning except Monday, and ever since the “Ancien Régime”, the boulevard is home to one of Lyon’s most iconic food markets (along with the Quai Saint-Antoine). The big market is on Tuesdays. Stop at No. 133 at the town hall. Longitude/latitude: 4.831314/45.774428 03 - Mairie du 4e, 133 Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse – It was in 1867, just after the demolition of the ramparts and the creation of the Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse, that the town hall was built.
