It's called

It's free.

Take advantage of the afternoon to discover the Saint-Etienne cathedral which burned down in 1877, the victim of a poorly controlled fireworks display, its prodigious nave, its sumptuous stained glass windows, including those created by Chagall.
In the evening, between 10:30 p.m. and 12:15 a.m., take a seat under the stars, on the forecourt of the western facade, famous for its rose window.
And don't miss any of the two 3D projections or “mapping”.

But you will only reach the peak of poetry once on the Saint-Georges bridge: with in front of you, the lasers projected on the water of 1024 Architecture, and in the distance, on the shore, the incredible giant lotuses of the Lyonnais architect Nicolas Paolozzi.
To take full advantage of this moment of grace,
it is better to go directly on foot to the Fabert garden where these giant flowers change color with the seasons and bewitch walkers.
As if you were walking through a psychedelic garden invented by Pink Floyd.
