Cathedrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon

The cathedral was founded by Saint Pothinus and Saint Irenaeus, the first two bishops of Lyon. The cathedral is also known as a "Primatiale" because in 1079 the Pope granted to the archbishop of Lyon the title of Primate of All the Gauls with the legal supremacy over the principal archbishops of the kingdom. It is located in the heart of the old town (Vieux Lyon) and it backs up to the Saône river, with a large plaza in front of it and a metro stop nearby providing easy access to and from the city center.

Passerelle Saint-georges

Still called the Saint-Georges footbridge, this structure connecting the districts of Ainay and Saint-Georges was opened to the public on October 21, 1853. It consists of an 87 m span suspended by guy wires fixed in masts anchored in the two piers placed 10 m from the banks. Destroyed in 1944, the footbridge is rebuilt identically. On March 17, 2003, it was renamed the Paul Couturier footbridge in honor of this priest, born in La Guillotière on July 29, 1881 and died on March 29, 1953, who contributed to interfaith exchanges.

Statue of the Republic

On a 15 meter/50 feet high base stands a 7½ meter/25 feet tall allegorical woman (Marianne) representing the Republic. She wears a Phrygian cap and caresses a lion's head with her right hand and holds an olive branch (symbol of peace) with her left hand. At the top of the base is a frieze with reliefs of the symbols of the republic: the Gallic rooster trampling a snake, a double cornucopia with the Phrygian cap, and a double cornucopia with the symbol of the city of Lyon (?). Below this frieze are the dates 1848 - 1870. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
