Traveler reviews
Jonathan Chew
★★★★★11 months agoAn educational museum detailing the beginnings of Christianity and its arrival in Lyon. It was enlightening to learn about the early days of Christianity beginning as an outlawed religion to becoming the state religion of the Roman Empire – the Church was very different back then. The only pity was that many sections were only in French, which may not be suitable for international visitors – hopefully more translations could be provided!
Marie Mullen
