Easy trip
Very easy to get to , the tram station is central when you cross the bridge. Simple to buy tickets , three euros buys you a ticket which you can use for the remainder of the day on buses, trams and local trains. Once you reach Fourviere the basilica is beside the bus or tram stop. Inside the basilica is delightful, the ceiling is a work of art and don’t forget to go downstairs to the crypt which is well worth the detour. Around the outside of the basilica past the couple of shops you can go to the front of the basilica and look down over Lyon, a great sight,

A magnificen edifice
A beautiful church, in its style very much of another era, but very impressive nonetheless. Outside, there is a large open space with spectacular views over the city. Easily accessible via a funicular or by taxi from the city -- cost from Place des Jacobins to the cathedral door 13,5 euro.
