Église du Bon-Pasteur

The Église du Bon-Pasteur is a Catholic church located on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse hill in Lyon. Travelers visit this site for its modest architecture and its significance as a symbolic place of worship for the local community. The approach to the church involves walking through the steep alleys characteristic of the district.

Getting There

To reach the church from Lyon city centre, visitors typically use the metro (Line C) to the Croix-Rousse station and then walk uphill, or use local buses. The journey generally takes between 20 and 30 minutes depending on the starting point and the pace of the climb.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to explore the church and its immediate surroundings. This provides enough time to experience the atmosphere of the building and the surrounding neighborhood.
