Vienne

Located 35 kilometers south of Lyon, Vienne extends along the Rhône River banks at an elevation of 169 meters above sea level.

The Romans established a colony in 47 BC, transforming Vienne into a major urban center with theaters, temples, and administrative buildings.

The Roman Theater hosts the annual Jazz à Vienne festival, presenting international musicians in a 13,000-seat ancient amphitheater during summer.

Visitors can explore Roman architecture at the Temple of Augustus and Livia, the archaeological museum, and numerous excavation sites throughout the city.

The Saint-Maurice Cathedral, built from the 12th century, combines Romanesque and Gothic styles with a 46-meter-high bell tower.
