Vienne, Isère

Artículo WikipediaFuente Dbpedia

Vienne is a commune in south-eastern France, located 32 kilometres (20 mi) south of Lyon, on the river Rh?ne. It is the second largest city after Grenoble in the Is?re department, of which it is a subprefecture. The city's population was of 29,400 as of the 2001 census.Before the arrival of the Roman armies, Vienne was the capital city of the Allobroges, a Gallic people. Transformed into a Roman colony in 47 BCE under Julius Caesar, Vienne became a major urban center, ideally located along the Rh?ne river, then a major axis of communication. The town later became a Roman provincial capital. Numerous remains of Roman constructions are still visible in modern Vienne. The town was also an important early bishopric in Christian Gaul. Its most famous bishop was Avitus of Vienne. At the Council of Vienne, convened there in October 1311, Pope Clement V abolished the order of the Knights Templar. During the Middle Ages, Vienne was part of the kingdom of Provence, dependent on the Holy Roman Empire, while the opposite bank of the Rh?ne was French territory, thus making it a strategic position.Today, the town is a regional commercial and industrial center specializing in the food industry. Tourism is also a major part of the town's economy. Indeed, there are many important historical monuments that draw the crowds, but the annual Jazz ? Vienne festival in July also makes it a popular tourist destination.
