【France】Lyon - The Ancient Roman Theater of Fourvière

【The Ancient Roman Theater of Fourvière】 Located about a 5-minute walk from the Notre-Dame Basilica, the ancient Roman theater is the oldest Roman Empire-era site in France, built in 15 BC. It is said to have accommodated as many as 10,000 spectators at the time. It's truly amazing that it has survived to the present day. It feels like stepping back in time, doesn't it? This spacious theater with steep slopes is still an active venue and is reportedly used for events even today. Ancient Roman Theater Theatre Romain Address: 17 Rue Cleberg, 69005 Lyon, France
