From the Lyon World / Places

Église Saint-Georges

A nineteenth-century Gothic Revival church whose pointed riverside profile closes the southern end of historic Vieux Lyon beside the Saône.

Église Saint-Georges

Why go

The church matters as much for its setting as for its architecture. From the footbridge or opposite quay, its vertical façade stands clearly against Fourvière hill. Up close, the building provides a useful contrast with the cathedral's genuinely medieval fabric farther north.

What to look for

  • Gothic Revival façade facing the river
  • Views from the Saint-Georges footbridge

Useful to know

  • Cross the footbridge for the strongest exterior view.
  • Check posted access and avoid entering during services.
