Lyon is a city located in east-central France, historically significant as a major center for silk production from the 15th century onwards. This industrial past has left a lasting architectural mark on the city, particularly in the Croix-Rousse district which was historically home to silk weavers. More recently, Lyon has become known as France’s gastronomic capital due to its celebrated *bouchons* (traditional Lyonnaise restaurants) and high concentration of Michelin-starred establishments. The city also boasts a rich cultural scene with numerous museums, theaters and concert venues.
