5th October 1986, at 10.30 pm, after Pope John-Paul II's blessing of Lyon from the top of Fourvières Hill, Rendez-vous Lyon got under way, a concert performed for more than 800,000 people on the banks of the river Saône .

... Fourvières Hill was ablaze for ninety minutes, fired on by cannons of light, fireworks and images synchronised to music being performed on the central stage by Jean Michel Jarre, 60 musicians and 120 choristers.

... A baroque feast, blending classical and avant-garde, workmanship and high tech, past and future, Rendez-vous Lyon will long be remembered as an exceptional event.

... In 7 parts.
