The Odeon in Lyon at Fourviere rebels the importance of this city in the Roman Empire. Just one other city in the Galia had both a Theatre and a Odeon. It was built by the end of the 1st century, south, close to the theatre, it had room for about 3 thousand people. Poetry, speech, government meetings, etc were housed here. By the study of this ruins, you can see the outstanding engineering and the beauty of the decoration.

If you're visiting the Fourvière Cathedral in Lyon, I highly recommend taking a short 5-minute walk to the Odéon de Lyon. One of the best parts about this ancient Roman theatre is that you don’t need to buy a ticket to explore it. Also, it is a serene place where you can take in the beauty of the ancient architecture and imagine what life was like in Roman times.

How can anyone give Roman remains anything less than 5 stars? What's not to like? Just don't forget to visit the lovely husband and wife who run the refreshments trailer at the bottom of the amphitheatre, where you can pick up a glass of champagne for €7 and meander around the ruins in...
