France Panoramic view on Lyon's Presqu'ile from the Fourviere hill
View from Fourviere hill on Presqu’île (French for "peninsula") situated between the Rhône and the Saône rivers, in the heart of Lyon, France.
The 1st and 2nd arrondissements of the city (as well as the southern part of the 4th) are located here, along with the Hôtel de Ville (city hall). Though the business center is located to the east in the 3rd arrondissement, road signs pointing to the centre of the city take drivers to Place Bellecour in the 2nd. Lyon is known for its historical and architectural landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site
