Lyon is a city that is bubbling with creativity. Its walls, its facades, its streets are all open-air canvases where artists from all over the world express themselves. For Street art lovers, a stay in Lyon is a real invitation to an urban artistic journey.

The walls of Lyon tell a story. From the Croix-Rousse, a mecca for silk and creation, to the working-class districts of Guillotière and Presqu'île, each district has its own style and its own emblematic artists.
