The site

Walking in the footsteps of Lugdunum’s first inhabitants, marvelling at the riches of the basilica, praying, meeting, giving thanks and reaching for the heavens in the face of a breathtaking panorama. Every visitor to the Notre-Dame de Fourvière site has a unique cultural, tourist and spiritual experience, and leaves with a lasting impression.

This basilica is well worth the climb up the hill. There’s a breathtaking view of the city and the basilica dedicated to Mary is incredible.
