Festivals and cultural events Lyon 69000

Because Lyonnais and visitors alike forget that Lyon is a city of water, crossed by two great rivers, the Rhône and the Saône, the City of Lyon has put water at the center of a festival. At the beginning of July, the second edition will take place - the first having been a real success - of an event with a particularly rich program, with numerous free outdoor activities for all publics. Look out for the famous Mâchecroute, a sea monster, returning to the waters of the Rhône near the Guillotière bridge!

Lyon's Hangar du Premier-Film is a must-see for film buffs. Located within the Institut Lumière, it offers visitors the chance to (re)discover films from all eras and geographical origins. Indeed, this historic location is the site of the first Lumière film, shot in 1895. The hangar, once a photographic plate factory, was saved from destruction by film enthusiasts. Today, it houses a 269-seat cinema where films are shown. Visitors can also enjoy the library, bookshop, café and galleries on site. A must-see for all cinephiles!
