From the Lyon World / Places

Place de la Trinité

A tiny, theatrical square enclosed by old façades, closely associated with the visual world and stage tradition of Lyon's Guignol puppet.

Place de la Trinité

Why go

The payoff is the complete ensemble rather than any single monument. Stand near the center to take in the tight proportions, the Maison du Soleil and the steep street rising behind it. The setting makes a vivid contrast with Vieux Lyon's longer commercial lanes.

What to look for

  • The painted Maison du Soleil façade
  • A compact stage-like enclosure of old buildings

Useful to know

  • Approach on foot through the Saint-Georges quarter.
  • Keep the stop brief and combine it with nearby Rue du Bœuf.
