1st arrondissement of Lyon, Central district between Saône and Rhône Rivers in Lyon, France

The 1st arrondissement extends from Place des Terreaux to the slopes of Croix-Rousse, featuring classical French buildings and narrow stone streets.

Established in March 1852, this district became a center for silk workers who constructed tall buildings with large windows to accommodate their looms.

The Musée des Beaux-Arts, housed in a former 17th-century abbey, displays extensive collections of paintings and sculptures near Place des Terreaux.

Metro stations Hôtel de Ville-Louis Pradel and Croix-Paquet connect residents to major transportation lines throughout Lyon's urban network.

The Fresque des Lyonnais mural presents a visual timeline of notable figures from Lyon's past through detailed architectural paintings.
