Every stone, every arch, every traboule whispers a legend. And with good reason: this district is not only one of the oldest in France, it&#8217;s also one of the <strong>largest Renaissance ensembles in Europe<\/strong>, on a par with Florence or Venice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udffa From Roman origins to the flourishing Renaissance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcdc A district born of Lugdunum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 43 BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus, <strong>Lugdunum<\/strong> soon became the capital of Gaul. The Fourvi\u00e8re hill was the site of the main political and religious buildings. However, from the High Middle Ages onwards, activity shifted to the banks of the Sa\u00f4ne.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the centuries, what is now Vieux Lyon became the spiritual and economic heart of the city. Under the impetus of archbishops, merchants, bankers and craftsmen, the district grew considerably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcb0 The golden age of the Renaissance (15th-16th centuries)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this time, Lyon hosted <strong>four major annual fairs<\/strong>, protected by the King of France. It was a commercial center of European stature, where Italian, Flemish, Swiss and German merchants met&#8230; The Saint-Paul district was filled with <strong>exchange houses<\/strong>, <strong>bank counters<\/strong> and <strong>printing works<\/strong> (including those of S\u00e9bastien Gryphe and Jean de Tournes, Lyon&#8217;s famous typographers). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Anecdote<\/strong>: Lyon is the birthplace of the <strong>first edition of Rabelais&#8217; &#8220;Pantagruel<\/strong> &#8221; (1532), printed just a stone&#8217;s throw from Vieux Lyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf00 Les traboules: a secret network in the city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Traboules<\/strong> form a unique network of around 200 passageways, some 40 of which are open to the public in Vieux Lyon.
