- 13 years ago
Take a tour of Lyon Town Hall in Lyon, France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The town hall in Lyon is a beautiful and classic 17th century building situated in central France, in a region renowned for its wine, cuisine, and landscape.
During the French revolution of the late 18th century, this bas relief of Louis the 14th on horseback was removed, but fortunately was later replaced.
Having been destroyed by multiple fires, the hall has seen many architects during its over 3 centuries of use.
This town hall is topped with a billowing French national flag and on its second story balcony proudly displays the flag of Lyon.
Through the various reconstructions of this edifice, many features have changed, but the overly embellished architectural style of Louis the 14th remain evident.
The resilience of this structure, combined with its luxurious architecture is one of the reasons this hall remains a symbol of triumph, strength, and success.
