Music and concerts in Lyon in July
July is the month for music festivals! While Fourvière hill is alive with the sound of music thanks to the 'Nuits de Fourvière' festival, there are many other outdoor concerts to choose from, including the Festival du Péristyle at the Opera, or the festival Intérieur Queer offers both fun and food for thought, with its panorama of queer French and European cultures in the very heart of Greater Lyon.
