About Lyon
Lyon is a vibrant, easy-to-explore city in southeast France, known for its history, culture and, famously, its food. It sits at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers and has a UNESCO-listed historic centre that’s perfect for wandering on foot.
Highlights include:
Old Lyon (Vieux Lyon) and the traboules: narrow Renaissance-era streets, hidden passageways, and gothic staircases.
Fourvière and its basilica: panoramic views over the city, plus Roman ruins and theatres nearby.
Presqu’île and Bellecour: the “golden triangle” of shopping, restaurants, and elegant architecture between the two rivers.
Croix-Rousse and the silk heritage: a bohemian quarter with steep lanes, markets, and a nod to Lyon’s historic silk industry.
Museums and culture:
Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (France’s second-biggest art museum after the Louvre).
Musée Gadagne (Lyon history and culture) and other specialized museums.
Confluence district (modern architecture and shopping near the river).
Gastronomy: Lyon is widely regarded as the “capital of gastronomy.”
Traditional bouchons (authentic Lyonnaise cuisine).
Les Halles de Lyon-Paul Bocuse (vibrant market with fresh produce and local specialties).
Dishes to try: quenelles, gratin dauphinois, cervelle de canut, and saucisson.
Parks and views:
Parc de la Tête d’Or (large park, lake and zoo) and great riverfront walks along the Rhône and Saône.

Elsevier has been made aware that third-party companies are targeting Elsevier conference speakers and attendees with a fraudulent travel and hotel booking scheme.
The companies are calling/emailing conference attendees, using email addresses which appear very similar to official Elsevier email addresses, and claiming to be the “official” housing bureau and/or authorized by Elsevier to book hotel/travel accommodations for the conference. This is entirely false and should anyone contact you, please do not provide them with any of your details, but refer this to Elsevier.
