    One thing observed from Fourvière hill of this church is the uneven heights of the two towers. On approach its impressive with its impressive renaissance portal on a gothic style architecture! Inside it's modestly decorated but utterly peaceful. Beautiful organ gallery, stunning nave, beautiful pulpit and several side chapels with notable stained-glass windows. There's a crypt but not accessible to the public. A modest but peaceful and gorgeous church to visit with all respect to its requirements and with decorum.

    I found this church in between while going back. Lyon has so many churches. This one is also very beautiful. It is in main centre. It is easy to reach at this place by public transport or just by walking in downtown.

    A very beautiful Catholic Church in the 1er arrondissement. People there welcomed us and we even had the chance to attend mass

    Church was built in 13th century, so old , loved the windows.

    Im lauten Trubel der Großstadt ist diese Kirche ein wunderschöner Ort der Ruhe. Die Architektur ist sowohl außen als auch innen sehr interessant und lohnt einen Besuch. Sehr schön ist auch, dass sich hier eher selten Scharen an Touristen finden, anders als beispielsweise rund um die Kathedrale am anderen Ufer der Saone.

    Eine sehr schöne gotische Kirche die von der Größe schon fast an eine Kathedrale reicht. Der Eingang ist direkt an einem kleinen, goldigen Platz. Innen sehr hoch mit vielen tollen Glasfenstern.

    Magnificent church in the city center of Lyon (2e arrondissement, on the border of 1er arrondisement). A must-see in Lyon

    The church was under partial renovation. The Jesus stations paintings are different from the typical churches as it is modern art.

    Wonderful church. One of the best exteriors you'll ever see.

    A beautiful church in Lyon. If u are a believer make a stop for praying. If not take a chance for having a break and admiring the majestic calmness - respect the others and don't make a fuss taking photos though.

    LOL this Church has a very weird "Way of the Cross" or "Via Crucis" with contemporary interpretations of the event. For a real review of a tourist and architecture enthusiast I would recomend a visit, it was not very crowded, it was beautiful and had an organized entry for free.

    It looks nice outside. I I don't go inside because there was the priers.

  • 5/5 Laurent P. 4 years ago on Google
    compared to the cathedral, this church is nicer to me, more gothic, English gothic I would say. Plus it is a vibrant parish with the presence of a charismatic community and a lot of students. I also heard it has the most ancient French Christian sanctuary in the crypt.

    Inspiring homily inviting us to pray daily so as to be connected to the Source of love. Beautiful architecture and welcoming congregation.

    Do not miss the clock ( a gilded circle ) inside at the very top of the ceiling. The clock is linked to the outside clock. Incredible !
