Located on the banks of the rivers Saône and Rhône, LYON has been an important gateway between the north and south. Vieux Lyon is the oldest part of the city and pieces of its Roman history can be seen in the superb Musée de la Civilisation Gallo-Romaine. There are also two excavated Roman amphitheaters, the Grand Theatre and the small Odéon. Other attractions include the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière and the Cathédrale St-Jean. There are also more restaurants per square metre of the old town than anywhere else on earth, and the city is renown for their share of international chefs.
