Lyon, the third largest city in France, is alive all year round and has an incomparable architectural, cultural or religious wealth. No tourist season other than the one caused by school holidays. So you can come whenever you want! However, it is sometimes very hot in summer and very cold in winter. You should also know that magic works particularly during the Festival of Lights, an emblematic Lyon festival that makes the city shine from all sides, from small candles lit on the windowsills of private individuals to the sumptuous illuminations of the city. Pilgrimages are also an opportunity to climb the hill of Fourvière during religious festivities. The Nuits de Fourvière, in June and July, with multidisciplinary performances in ancient theatre, are also another incentive.
The climate is semi-continental with Mediterranean influences, with hot and stormy summers and cold and dry winters. In winter, frosts are frequent, snowfalls are possible and the feeling of cold is often reinforced by the breeze. The Mediterranean influence causes high temperatures in spring and summer. The average temperature varies from 2.9°C in January to 21.1°C in July. A few days of fog in autumn, winter and spring.
