Lyon, a city in the historic Rhône-Alpes region of France, is located at the junction of the Rhône and Saône rivers. Its center reflects two thousand years of history, with the Roman Three Gaul Amphitheater, medieval and Renaissance architecture in Old Lyon, and the modern Confluence district on the Presqu'île peninsula. The traboules, covered passageways between buildings, connect Old Lyon with the Croix-Rousse hill.
