It’s time to take three short walks around an immense open-air gallery!

Down a street, in a square, round the city centre or out in the suburbs, more than a hundred frescos cover the walls in Lyon and retrace its history.

Whether you’re in Lyon for a day or have lived in the city all your life, here are a selection of frescos, mostly designed and created by the Lyon-based company CitéCréation, which will pique your curiosity all while helping you discover Lyon.

CitéCréation and its 80 painters, architects, landscapers, etc. have covered the walls of the world with artistic creations for more than forty years.

Mathilde

Always smiling, Mathilde comes to us from Franche-Comté (as her lilting accent attests). Besides, she is mad about Franche-Comté cheeses: comté, cancoillotte, mont d’or... And all things comestible, for that matter (she’s a real foodie!). Her secret to staying slim? Physical activity. She loves running along the banks of the Saône, near her home.Her motto? Run more to eat more!
