Colorful patterns shine in the sun, and a religious art museum with guided tours is located in the basement of St. Joseph inside. Standing on the semi-suspended platform on the left side of the church, you can overlook the panoramic view of Lyon. The endless red tile roofs in the old city are impressive. profound. Visitors can take a mountain cable car or walk along the steep slope.
