Inside Basilica Notre Dame de Fourvière, Lyon, France

Since 1982 the antennas of Radio the predecessor of Radios francophones, have been located in the tower. Notre-Dame de was included when the whole historic center of Lyon was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998.

The Basilica Notre-Dame de is a basilica in Lyon. It was built with private funds between 1872 and 1896 in a dominating position in the city, as a mark of the triumph of Christian values over the socialists of the Lyon commune of 1870, like the similarly-inspired Basilique du Paris. Its design, by Pierre Bossan, draws from both Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, two non-Gothic models that were unusual choices at the time. It features fine mosaics, superb stained glass, and a crypt of Saint Joseph. The basilica, which offers guided tours and contains a Museum of Sacred Art, receives 1.5 million visitors annually
