Lyon Murals

It has been mostly good weather for the more than ten days I've been in France, but as I left Marseille for Lyon, the third largest city in France and a central city in the country, the weather turned to rain. There's nothing to be done about it; when you're traveling, the weather is a matter of luck. Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and it won't always be sunny, so you have to adapt to the circumstances. The Lyon Murals hold a significant place in the hearts of tourists in Lyon, France, becoming a must-visit attraction. At first, I didn't understand the appeal, wondering how a mural could be so captivating? The mural is painted on the exterior wall of a seven-story building, with many 3D paintings that, combined with the surrounding real environment and visitors, give people a dreamlike feeling, as if they have stepped into a fantastical era. The mural is located at (Fresque des Lyonnais; rue de la Martinière and quai de la Pecherie, at the 1st intersection; M Hotel de Ville). The creation of the mural incorporates many world-famous 'Lyonnais', depicting a wonderful story of the people of Lyon. The characters appearing in the painting include the inventor of the loom, Joseph-Marie Jacquard (1752~1834), the Renaissance poet Maurice Sceve (circa 1499~1560), the star chef Paul Bocuse (born in 1926), the puppet Guignol, the writer and pilot Antoine de St-Exupery (1900~1944) and his Little Prince with golden hair, among others. Integrating the city's cultural history into 'graffiti' has a promotional effect on the city. On a cloudy day with light rain, running around to check in at popular spots and appreciating the murals is also a pleasure. I took some casual photos for you to judge your own feelings. In fact, this method can be emulated, artificially creating some attractions that not only entertain visitors but also generate economic revenue. Street scenes that don't charge an entrance fee can attract tourists, increase consumption, and drive economic development.
