EMILIA-ROMAGNA
When walking along the narrow streets of Lyon's Old Town one leaves the modern world and takes a giant leap back 500 years. Cobblestone streets lined with ancient facades extend for many blocks through the largest Renaissance-era neighborhood in France. The magical feeling of the past is further enhanced by numerous older structures from the Gothic, Romanesque and even classical Roman times, and by the complete absence of modern buildings. Old Lyon has a unified historic atmosphere that you don't find in many other large cities of Europe.
