Église Saint-Georges and the Saône  —  Lyon

About the series

Fifteen photographs of Lyon made between the Saône and the Rhône: the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière from its gates to its high altar, the city's other great interiors, its civic architecture, and the newer architecture of Part-Dieu and Confluence.

The sequence runs from a still dawn on the Saône to a night sky over Fourvière.
