Église Saint-Just
At 39–41 rue des Farges, in Lyon’s 5th arrondissement, the Église Saint-Just belongs to the Fourvière hill area. A discreet religious site, to be discovered on a walk above Vieux Lyon. Our records detail neither its history nor its opening hours: check locally before you come.
On the Fourvière hill
The address on rue des Farges places the church in the 5th arrondissement, on the heights of the Saône’s right bank. It is a residential hillside area, quieter than the tourist heart of Vieux Lyon. Coming here means seeing a more everyday face of the city.
What our records say
We have the address (39–41 rue des Farges) and the church’s location, but no details on its construction or architect. Rather than put forward uncertain dates, we prefer to point you to local sources: the parish, the tourist office or information boards on site.
A discreet visit
As with any church, dress and behave respectfully, especially if a service is under way. Access conditions are not in our records: the interior is not necessarily open all day. If the door is closed, the exterior and the neighbourhood are already worth the detour.
Pair it with Fourvière
The church fits into a walk on the Fourvière hill, which you can combine with a descent on foot towards Vieux Lyon. Bring good shoes and a little time: the slopes can be felt. In the morning, the neighbourhood is calm and pleasant.
