Why gift a city map poster of Lyon?
Regalare un poster mappa di Lione significa onorare la capitale gastronomica francese. Dai traboules segreti del Vieux Lyon alle scale della Croix-Rousse, dalla basilica di Fourvière alle sponde del Rodano, ogni quartiere lionese profuma di quenelles e di seta.
The map of Lyon
A 45,7° di latitudine nord, Lione mostra una pianta urbana unica modellata dalla confluenza di due fiumi: la penisola di Presqu'île tra Rodano e Saona, il Vieux Lyon medievale ai piedi di Fourvière, e la collina della Croix-Rousse — anticamente quartiere dei canuts della seta.
“Ho regalato un poster della mappa per la nascita di mia figlia. L'effetto è magico, un ricordo unico che ora troneggia sopra il suo letto. Ogni sera le mostriamo le strade della 'sua' città.”
