Un lugar de Lyon que merece la pena visitar. Entorno muy cuidado y conserva gran parte de lo que fue. No es necesario sacar entrada, solo para el museo.
Un teatro romano impresionante en el que puedes caminar, sentarte a contemplarlo. Una reliquia al aire libre y al alcance de quien quiera vistarlo.
Interesante visita . No hay que pagar entradas. Es impactante lo grande que es.
