Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, Residential commune in Metropolis of Lyon, France

Located on a hill overlooking Lyon, Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon stretches across 16.83 square kilometers at an elevation of 311 meters above sea level.

The area features remnants of Roman aqueducts that once supplied water to ancient Lugdunum, demonstrating the long-standing connection between this commune and Lyon.

The International School of Lyon operates within the municipality, creating an educational environment that brings together students from different nationalities.

The commune maintains regular markets, including Marché du Centre and Marché de la Plaine, where residents can purchase local products throughout the year.

A preserved Chappe Telegraph Tower stands in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon as evidence of early communication systems that preceded electric telegraph technology.
