About Theatre Romains de Fourviere

Welcome to Theatre Romains de Fourviere, a historic open-air Roman theatre complex in Lyon's Fourvière hills. Part of the Lugdunum site, it houses the Grand Théâtre and the Odéon, with a combined capacity of up to about 13,000 based on configuration. This page covers seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options to help you secure your seats and plan a seamless visit.

Whether you’re catching a performance as part of the renowned Nuits de Fourvière festival or a special event, we’ve got you covered with practical details and trusted affiliate recommendations for post-show dining and stays within easy reach.

The Grand Théâtre can host up to roughly 10,000 attendees while the Odéon accommodates around 3,000. Seating on site is ancient cavea and configurations vary by event, so there isn’t a single modern seating chart publicly published. Fans typically access seating based on event-specific arrangements, so arriving early helps you find your best spot. The site is part of the Lugdunum — Musée et Théâtres romains complex, marketed under the Lugdunum name by the City of Lyon.

For a complete experience, consider nearby hotels like Fourvière Hôtel Lyon and Villa Florentine—both within a comfortable walking distance. After the show, enjoy recommended dining options in the area, many of which partner with affiliate programs for convenient booking. And if you’re driving, nearby parking facilities and TCL transit options make reaching the hill easy, with funiculars and walking routes providing scenic access for a memorable Lyon night out.
