Vienne is an important Rhone-Alps town located in the Isere department south of Lyon.

The town is a little too close to the industrial heart of France to be a major destination in its own right, but makes for an interesting stopover as you hurtle towards the south of France along the autoroute, with several highlights. Start your exploration around the Place Charles de Gaulle and the Rue des Clercs.

The town has a long and prestigious history dating back to Roman times - and there is still an impressive Roman temple in Vienne, the Temple d'Auguste et de Livie, and other important Roman ruins, including thermal baths, are scattered among the medieval centre of the town. The Roman Theatre in Vienne is an important jazz venue for two weeks each July.

The old town also contains a substantial number of medieval and balconied houses.

Other highlights include the 13th century former cathedral of Saint Maurice (which contains some renowned Flanders tapestries) and the churches of Saint-Pierre and Saint-André-le-Bas (with a notable cloister).

The Museum of Beaux-Arts and Archaeology also contains some interesting articles.

Across the Rhone from Vienne the roman ruins at St-Romain-en-Gal feature some very good mosaics.
