How it all began
It is believed that the place where Lyon stands nowadays has been occupied for the last 40,000 years according to evidence found by archeologists.
Commercial activities in the area may have started slowly about 2,800 years ago. These activities remained low key until the Romans arrived however it shows that the Roman city was not created from nothing! Agriculture and handicrafts were developing in the area, permitting populations to settle there from the Neolithic era. During the Stone Age (from 6th century BC), the area appears to have been a commercial
