Lyon is France's second-largest city (by urban area) and the capital of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, home to approximately 520,000 city residents and 2.3 million in the metro area. It operates on Central European Time (CET/CEST). Lyon is widely regarded as France's — and arguably the world's — gastronomic capital. The legendary chef Paul Bocuse, who died in 2018, was its greatest ambassador, and the annual Bocuse d'Or competition is the world's most prestigious culinary contest. The historic centre of Lyon, including the Fourvière hill with its Roman theatres and the Renaissance Vieux-Lyon district, is the largest Renaissance ensemble outside Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lyon's annual Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights), held for four nights in December, transforms the entire city with extraordinary light installations and attracts over 4 million visitors — making it Europe's largest light festival. The city was also the headquarters of the Gestapo in occupied France, and Centre d'Histoire de la Résistance et de la Déportation documents this dark chapter.
