Théâtre Gallo-Romain de Fourvière
The Théâtre Gallo-Romain de Fourvière carries the history of a whole place in its name: that of the hill overlooking Lyon and of the Gallo-Roman era. It is one of the city's performance venues and fits naturally into a walk on the heights. A stop to slip into a route mixing panoramas and heritage.
A hill, a history
The theatre's name refers to the Gallo-Roman era and to the Fourvière site, the hill overlooking the city. Our file does not go into more detail about its history, but this link with Antiquity is enough to give the place a special atmosphere: people come as much for the setting as for the shows.
One of the city's stages
The venue is listed among Lyon's theatres. If you are staying in town, check the programme on official sources: depending on the time of year, it can turn a simple stroll into a cultural evening. Bring suitable clothing, as the heights are often cooler than the city centre.
Planning your visit
