Lyon between Fourvière, Old Lyon, and Confluence
In Lyon, a few minutes are enough to completely change the scenery. Light glides over the facades of Old Lyon, Fourvière stands out above the Saône, then the lines become more graphic as you descend towards the Rhône quays and the Confluence.
In this collection, we have gathered photos of Lyon taken from the streets, bridges, and viewpoints that give the city its character. Saint-Georges at sunset, the rooftops around Saint-Jean, the traboules of Croix-Rousse, the Hôtel-Dieu, or the Musée des Confluences make up a selection of urban landscapes that are both familiar and spectacular.
Each Lyon photo print is printed on demand on matte Dibond aluminium. This finish limits reflections and highlights the details of the facades, the colors of the sky, and the city lights.

Photographing Lyon through the light
On the banks of the Saône, the gaze naturally moves from Saint-Georges church to the Fourvière basilica, before reaching the colorful facades of Old Lyon and Saint-Jean cathedral. On the banks of the Rhône, the atmosphere changes: the shots open up to the bridges, the banks, the Hôtel-Dieu, and the contemporary skyline of Part-Dieu.
The collection also explores the stairs and streets of Croix-Rousse, the montée de la Grande Côte, the traboules, the Bartholdi fountain, and the Place des Jacobins. Further south, the Musée des Confluences and the surrounding bridges offer a more modern and graphic vision of Lyon.
We select photographs capable of restoring an atmosphere as much as a place: the light of a late day on Fourvière, the reflections of the city in the Rhône, a discreet passage of Old Lyon, or the lines of a bridge over the river.
