So very peaceful there and I got a kick from resting my tired old butt on the same seats as some Roman citizens did 2000 years ago. I gotta say, those Roman architects knew how to build and design seating that was surprisingly comfortable, bare stone and cement that they are! If Vieux Lyon is old then these ruins - formerly known as Lugdunum - was ancient Lyon. It really is quite awesome thinking about the layered history of this city.

Si les anneciens n'ont toujours fait que passer devant cet édifice, ils lui restent très attachés, le désignant comme le centre de la vie politique et sociale de la ville. Outre les services techniques, le cabinet du maire, les services sociaux, l'Hôtel de Ville abrite une salle de réception qui voit régulièrement défiler tous les cocktails mondains, inaugurations ou clôtures de festivals et cérémonie culturelles en tous genres. Au centre de l'établissement, la ville a fait construire une grande verrière, la cour intérieure étant maintenant protégée. On peut y voir une grande maquette de la ville, ainsi qu'un mémorial commémoratif des combattants de la résistance et des victimes Anneciennes de la seconde guerre mondiale. Le bâtiment constitue un passage vers les très agréables Jardins de l'Europe qui lui sont contigus.
