We wanted to explore the northern part of Vieux Lyon, a neighborhood that we had not yet visited. We took the bus to Gare Saint-Paul, an old train station in Vieux Lyon located next to one of the many old churches in the city, Église Saint-Paul. Like many European cities, Lyon has multiple train stations, each serving regional and commuter trains coming into the city from different directions.
One of the streets in northern Vieux Lyon, Rue Juiverie, was the home of the Jewish Quarter during the Middle Ages. Although Jews were an important part of the Lyon community they were segregated from the rest of the city and lived primarily along this old narrow street. It was interesting to stroll along this ancient street and imagining what life was like for the residents.
