The Church of Notre Dame of Fuvier stands on Mount Fuvier. Its shape is similar to that of the castle. It is 66 meters long, 19 meters wide and 27 meters high. Now we can see that the Church of Notre Dame was expanded in 1872. It was designed and built by architect Pierre Posse from 1872 to 1884. It has an interesting nickname "Inverted Elephant" and refers to its eclecticism at the end of the 19th century. This church combines the Byzantine and medieval styles and has a variety of complex and beautiful sculptures. The church consists of two blunt serrated towers, the left representing power and the right representing justice. The stone of the church was transported from Italy, and the carvings were made by Italians. Notre Dame Church of Lyon is regarded as a symbol of Lyon and one of Lyon's famous buildings. From 1168 to 1170, a chapel was built to honor the Virgin Mary. After that, the chapel was demolished, rebuilt and expanded. In 1870, when the church was built during the Franco-Prussian War, the Archbishop of Lyon made a wish to Catholics that if the Virgin Mary could manifest herself from the destruction of the Prussian army, she would be extended to thank the Virgin Mary. The prayers of the people of Lyon were eventually fulfilled, and the church has since become the symbol of the Virgin Mary, the guardian of the city of Lyon. Mount Fuvier is the cradle of Lyon and the birthplace of Christianity in Lyon, so it is also called the Mountain of Prayer. Lyon's Hanukkah is also closely linked to this mountain. It has a Baroque Notre Dame church built in the 19th century, as well as an ancient Roman arena and a Roman Gallic Museum. Standing on the hill, the city has a great view. The tallest building is called the Pencil Tower by the local people. The opposite hill is Croix-Rousse, a hillside where textile workers gathered in the past, also known as Textile Hill. From here, you can also see the peninsula, the area, which converges between the two rivers. Of course, the evening is also a good place to enjoy the night scenery.

We took the cable car up the mountain and found ourselves standing in front of the church. After visiting the church, we found a place similar to a small garden, overlooking the city under the mountain while drinking coffee.

Mount Fuvier, on the periphery of the city of Lyon, it was very convenient in the past, because it was a good place to overlook the old city, but it was a bit blocked by trees, there was a cable car to the mountain, the scenery was really open

Lyon is a famous European Renaissance city with many proud cultures. She is the former printing center of France, the modern food capital, the birthplace of the film, and as the European silk capital for three hundred years. He is also the third largest city in France, with the "capital of the province".

Then the potato is said to be more suitable than not, because it really falls in this birthplace, because all the people who do not live on this computer are, well, rich people are more, well, the main culture here is what bakery is hosted by the Culture Committee of Russian teachers. All kinds of computers are older, culturally and well-dressed. Then it's very quiet, churches and other special things, and tourists still live on it a little more inconvenient, because this one here, is it a slope? So, there are still many inconvenient places, but generally speaking, this area feels very good, so I suggest you take a look and enjoy the scenery here.

Mount Fuvier is the cradle of Lyon and the birthplace of Lyon Christianity, so it is also known as the Prayer Mountain, and Lyon's Hanukkah is closely related to this mountain. Built in the 19th century, the Baroque Church of the Virgin, the Colosseum of the Ancient Roman period and the Gaul Museum of Rome. The tallest building is known by locals as the Pencil Building. The mountain opposite is the Croix-Rousse District, the hillside where textile workers gathered in the past, also known as the textile mountain. From here, you can also see the peninsula and district that gather in the middle of the two rivers. Of course, it is also a good place to enjoy the night view at night.
