With 1.5 million visitors each year, Fourvière is one of the most popular tourist sites in France. The Basilica of Fourvière was built between 1872 and 1896 and is a typical and outstanding example of the 19th century religious architecture. Perched on top of the Fourvière hill, the basilica looms impressively over the city of Lyon, where it can be seen from many vantage points. At certain times, members of the public may access the basilica's north tower for a spectacular view of Lyon and its suburbs.

Fourvière actually contains two churches, one on top of the other. The upper sanctuary is very ornate, while the lower has a much simpler design. Fourvière is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who is said to have saved the city of Lyon from the plague in 1643. Next to the basilica a small church was erected in gratitude, to which the gilded statue of the Virgin was added in the mid-nineteenth century. Each year in early December, the people in Lyon thanks the Virgin by lighting candles throughout the city.

Med 1,5 millioner besøkende hvert år er Fourvière en av de mest populære turistattraksjonene i Frankrike. Basilisken ble bygget i perioden 1872-1896 og er et karakteristisk og enestående eksempel på det nittende århundrets religiøse arkitektur. Den er plassert på toppen av åsen Fourvière, hvor man kan se den fra store deler av byen. Enkelte ganger har de besøkende tilgang til basiliksens nordlige tårn hvor man har en spektakulær utsikt over Lyon og omegn.

Fourvière består faktisk av to kirker, den ene på toppen av den andre. Det øvre sakristiet er veldig utsmykket, mens det nedre har et mye enklere design. Det blir sagt at Jomfru Maria reddet innbyggerne i Lyon fra å bli smittet av pesten i 1643. Dermed ble en liten kirke bygd ved siden av basilisken til ære for Jomfru Maria, med en gyllen statue av Maria på tårnet. Tidlig i desember hvert år takker innbyggerne i Lyon Jomfru Maria ved å tenne lys over hele byen.

The first Sunday in January is The Kings day. It’s the day the Three Kings are said to have presented their gifts to Jesus. In honor of this day they eat the Kings Cake, la Galette des Rois.

The most traditional cake is flat and round with an almond/butter filling. Originally they always baked a real broad bean inside the cake. Now it is a figurine that is called “la fève.“

“La fève“ can represent anything from a car to a cartoon character. Whoever gets the slice with la fève is King or Queen for the day. They’re given a golden cardboard crown to wear all day long. Their duty as king or queen is to buy or make the next kings cake.
