Day 3 (continued). Peninsula, evening city and unexpected worship
Yes, walking, we found ourselves in the central part of Lyon - Presqu ’î le or the peninsula. The several times enlarged area underwent the first stage of urbanization during the Renaissance, and then became a favorite settlement of the Lyon bourgeoisie.
Place Des Terreaux.
In the 13th century, the city had a huge wall built due to a tax dispute between the Lyon Merchants Association and the local archbishop.
In the 16th century the wall was destroyed, but only in the 19th century work began to restore order here.
Hô tel de Ville. The town hall is one of the most sophisticated and impressive city buildings, which has preserved the features of different eras. The first Town Hall was built in the 17th century, but it burned down two years later.
The next building was built in the Baroque style, and its facade was decorated with numerous sculptures, including two female figures representing the Rhone and Son rivers.
Fontaine Bartholdi has an interesting history of its appearance in Lyon. On April 20.1857, the Bordeaux City Council announced a competition to create a fountain for Place Quinconces. Fré dé ric Bartholdi, then only 23, won the competition. But the Bordeaux mayor's office changed its mind and froze the project. 
This is where Lyon will take the stage and quickly buy a fountain for himself. However, there is a legend that the Lyons simply stole the fountain from Bordeaux, offering a high price to Bartholde. 
Musé e des Beaux-Arts is housed in a former Benedictine monastery that was liquidated during the French Revolution. With its 7.000 square meters.
m and 70 rooms is the largest museum in France after the Louvre.
Unfortunately, I only managed to visit a small museum park, because there were simply not enough hours for thoughtful enjoyment of the beautiful, and I did not want to do anything in a hurry.
The Lyon Opera House was first opened in the mid-18th century, but by the beginning of the next century it did not accommodate all interested audiences.
Therefore, in 1831 a new theater was built on the site of the old building.
In 1985, it was decided to update the opera again. All that remains of the old building is the shell, the interior of the building has been completely reconstructed, and the height of the building has been increased. There are muses on the facade, but for some reason there is no space for one of them - Urania - so there are only eight of them.
Notice how the districts of Lyon differ from each other? How different are their energy, mood and architecture? Such is the thorough and cozy Old Town, the simple and open Croix-Rus and the elegantly refined Peninsula.

Зимавэтомгодунетлькоунас, онаивЛионевыглядитстрано))
On one of the church towers you can see ancient times, and the facade is decorated with sculptures and stucco. 
Inside is the same Lyon asceticism and traditional nativity scene. 
In the small chapel there are improvised "Christmas trees" to which you can entrust your deepest dreams. 
Striking paintings by an unknown author, placed on the perimeter of the church. They transfer the way of Christ to Calvary in our time. 
The modern building reflects the Palais de la Bourse or the Palais du Commerce.
The history of the Palace began in 1853, when the municipality decided to build a building that will house not only the stock exchange, but also an art museum, shops and studios. Construction began 3 years later, and the opening was attended by Emperor Napoleon III and his wife.
Throughout the history of the Palace's Exchange, it has housed a credit bank, a commercial court, a workers' council and a community of silk merchants. Today, the Palais du Commerce has the city's Chamber of Commerce. 
In the old photos, the building looked like this (picture )
The Palais de la Bourse has a red tile in the sidewalk in memory of the assassination of Sadi Carnot, President of the French Republic, in 1894. 
Sanctuaire Saint Bonaventure.
The history of this church is closely connected with the monastery, which it was part of in the 13th century. Today it is the only medieval building that has survived the redevelopment and reconstruction of the central part of the city. 
The church has bright stained glass windows, a Christmas nativity scene and a traditionally laconic interior. 
Passage de l'Arge. This is one of the oldest arcade buildings in France, built on the same model as in Paris. Entrance entrances are neoclassical. Inside there are shops of all types, but the emphasis is on luxury items.
Place de la Ré publique. It was designed in the second half of the 19th century.
It is the confluence of the two main shopping streets of Lyon - Rue de la Ré publique and Rue du Pré sident É douard Herriot. And the first will be among the hundred most expensive streets in the world. 
The Chapelle de l'Hô tel-Dieu looks coquettishly from behind the houses and reflects surprisingly photogenically near the fountain.
It was at the construction site of Hô tel-Dieu that our excursion program ended yesterday, so the circle closed. Now you can go shopping ziring))

Given that there is still time before the Feast of Light, I decide to visit an old friend - Fourviere Hill.
Only this time I get on the cable car.
Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere, evening version.
And no longer foggy views of the city:
Delicious mulled wine))
I did not plan to go to the middle of the Basilica, it somehow turned out - an enchanted place)) 
As soon as I came in, the light went out. The only ray snatches from the darkness a priest addressing the faithful.
It turns out that the basilica has prepared its out-of-competition work for the Feast of Light. This is a kind of prayer-meditation accompanied by light effects. 
Action begins. The world. Sound. Traditional prayer in non-traditional treatment. 
At first, you sit stunned by the very fact of experimenting in an area that seems to have sprouted dogmas and taboos. 
Потомтебедогоняетощущениетойментальнойбезднымеждунами, котораясуществуетдажевцерковныхканонах.
And then, catching the general rhythm, you sing something with your tongue. And what can I tell you, if our churches held such services, I would be their most devoted parishioner))
Going down to the Old Town.
Today my Light Festival route starts here.
