Located 30 km south of Lyon, along the valley of the Rhône, Vienne has developed between the river and the hills for more than 2000 years, bequeathing a most prestigious architectural heritage. A region full of history, Vienne shelters many Gallo-Roman and medieval vestiges, such as the ancient theatre. So many monuments to admire, even today. Lyon and Vienne together form the richest Gallo-Roman archaeological pole in France

Every summer, for the past 20 years, the ancient theatre of Vienne is transformed into a shrine for musical meetings as part of the «Jazz in Vienne» festival.
