Flowing through the heart of the city and coming together just south of the city center are its two rivers, the Rhône and the Saône.An ancient Roman hub of commerce, the ruins of an ancient amphitheater are still visible today atop the hill which, with the Fourvière basilica, overlooks the rhône valley and provides a splendid view of the french Alps.Lyon is famous for its hearty cuisine, its winding medieval streets and its proximity to other European capitals.
Lyon University includes the biggest French medical university complex with more than 12 000 students, 50 institutions devoted to medical sciences. Among these intitution are 3 European specialist institutes (the"genopole" devoted to genomics, the "canceropole" devoted to cancer research and the "biopole"devoted to infectious diseases) as well as 4 European research networks devoted to cancer, organ transplantation, vaccinology and neurosciences).
