Fourvière à Lyon : 4 millions de visiteurs et de grands travaux

The Basilica of Fourvière is one of Lyon's most iconic monuments. But beyond the religious building itself, it's a whole heritage site that attracts several million visitors each year. In this new episode of "6 Minutes Flat," Lyon Capitale welcomes Jean-Christophe Aguettant, the new president of the Fourvière Foundation, and Marc Bouchacourt, its vice-president. They discuss the Fourvière Foundation's missions: site management, welcoming the public, mobilizing hundreds of volunteers, and major renovation projects, notably the restoration of the basilica's four towers. How many visitors actually come to Fourvière each year? How is the site's upkeep funded? What work is planned for the future? Why does Fourvière hold such a special place in Lyon's heritage? A discussion to better understand the significance of a place central to Lyon's history, culture, and influence. 📍 Interview conducted by Lyon Capitale for "6 Minutes Flat." #Lyon #Fourvière #BasilicaOfFourvière #Heritage #LyonCapital
