Breathtaking

This is a very beautiful church and the mosaics and ceiling are amazing and the view over Lyon is amazing as well. You can either take the tram or walk up. Its very easy to reach from old town

Spectacular view of Lyon, interesting church

Well worth taking the funicular to Fourviere. Interesting history, spectacular view of Lyon. Restaurant closed during major works, so we had to walk a bit down the hill, but we found a gem.

Beautiful Church

The view overlooking the city is great at night. Beautiful architecture, fantastic interior. Amazing to think about how this got built built back in the mid 1800s. Best thing is it's free to tour.

Beautiful

The basilica is one of the most beautiful inside that I've seen. The grounds were partially closed for renovation, and it's a hike to walk up, but worth it if you're able.
