Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon

Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon is a residential community positioned on a hill that rises above Lyon's landscape. The settlement spreads across the elevated terrain, offering views of the surrounding areas from its higher ground.

The area was settled in ancient times, as shown by remains of Roman water channels that once supplied the old city of Lugdunum. These traces connect this place to Lyon's past as a Roman settlement.

The international school draws families from many countries and shapes how people live together here. School activities and events influence the rhythm of daily life and make this place feel diverse and open.

Regular markets happen in the town where visitors and residents can buy fresh local products. These markets are good places to experience how the community goes about daily life.

A preserved signal tower from the 18th century stands in the commune, a leftover from early mechanical communication systems. This tower was part of a network that relayed messages across long distances before electricity existed.
