Lyon
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
Lyon sits between the Rhône and the Saône, with the Presqu'île running between them on a tightly-controlled axis. The result is a city where the same street can frame a different alignment depending which river is at your back — and the surviving Renaissance and 19th-century architecture catches the warm light beautifully.
