In terms of gastronomy, Lyon is well-known for its hot Sausage and Quenelles and everyone knows that the Guignol puppet theatre originated here. Now Lyon has another claim to fame - its trompe l'œil painted walls. If you liked the reproduction of the "Cour des Loges" near place Fousseret and the frescoes in the "cité Tony Garnier" (see Quartier des Etats Unis), then you will appreciate this mural, which represents local culture. On the corner of quai Saint Vincent and rue de la Martinière, portraits of the major players in the history of Lyon have been painted on balconies. You might recognise some, such as the Emperor Claude, Laurent Mourguet, creator of Guignol puppets, Bertrand Tavernier the film-maker or abbé Pierre. Several streets away from the "mur des Lyonnais", the painted wall of the city library "biliothèque de la cité" in rue de la Platière shows the town's literary achievements in a neighbourhood where bookshops abound.
