Saint-Nizier Church

The main religious expanding on the site of the present church was a Roman landmark, maybe a sanctuary of Attis, whose love was likely the reason for the Christian mistreatment in Lyon from 177. In the fifth century, as indicated by custom, Eucherius of Lyon, nineteenth minister of Lyon, based on the vestiges of the building a basilica to contain the relics of the saints in Lyon, tormented in 177.

The congregation got the name "Church of Holy Apostles". In the sixth century, the priests were covered in the congregation, especially Nicetius of Lyon, the 28th religious administrator. The body of the last pulled in a group and his assumed extraordinary wonders drove the congregation to take his name.
