Lyons is a great unknown to me : such a big town and virtually nothing significant in our French collective memory to deal with.

Looks like an average city, with some nice streets and alleys. I have been to Paris, Marseille and Nice but never Lyon, so it was interesting to see it. Is there any special square or avenue that stands out in the city?
