Fresque des Lyonnais, Wall mural in 1st arrondissement of Lyon, France
The Fresque des Lyonnais covers 800 square meters of wall space, depicting 30 historical figures from Lyon through windows and balconies arrangements.
Created by CitéCréation in 1994, this mural transformed rue de la Martinière by illustrating prominent figures from Roman emperor Claudius to contemporary personalities.
The fresco represents local achievements in science, literature, and gastronomy, featuring figures like Paul Bocuse and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Located at 2 rue de la Martinière, visitors can reach the mural via metro stations Hôtel de Ville or Saint-Paul in the heart of Lyon.
The mural incorporates architectural elements to create three-dimensional effects, making figures appear to interact with the building structure.
