The Lyonnais ( Arpitan Liyonês ) is a historical province of France , which is today in the Rhône department and partly belongs to the metropolis of Lyon .

history

The Lyonnais itself was divided into three provinces:

The Plat pays de Lyonnais corresponds to today's landscape designation Monts du Lyonnais . The adjective plat (actually: even, flat) does not designate the relief of this low mountain range, but the fact that this province was not viewed as privileged and was subject to the waistline for tax purposes .
The city of Lyon that did not succumb to the waist.
The Franc-Lyonnais , a small, tax-free province in the north of Lyon on the banks of the Saône .

Two other provinces of the Lyonnais formed the "government district of Lyonnais" ( le gouvernement du Lyonnais ):

Between 1754 and 1756 the province was struck by an insect that claimed over 30 deaths; it received the name of the beast from the Lyonnais .

The dominant mountains in the Monts du Lyonnais are the Malherbe ridge at 946 m and the height of Saint-André at 934 m. There are also a few hills above the communes of Larajasse and Saint-Martin-en-Haut .
