Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon: Guide

Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon is a town and région of France. It is a suburb of the city of Lyon, and is located to its north-northeast. It is thus a component of the metropolitan Urban Community of Lyon.

It is an industrial town only three miles from the centre of Lyon, (the second city of France) but is a community in its own right. The town grew as a haven from the industry of Lyon, as it is set high above the city, and there are some wonderful panoramas of Lyon and the surrounding area, notably from a park known as the 'Esplanade de Lichfield'.

Lyon is said to be the city of three rivers - the Rhône River|Rhône and Saône rivers which converge there - and the Beaujolais wine! Sainte Foy's finest historic asset is remains of a Roman aqueduct and there is a fine seminary, steep narrow walled streets, parks and gardens, and squares in the town centre.

Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon is twinned with Lichfield, Staffordshire, England.
