Free tour - "WALK AROUND LYON"
Tour description
Unlike cities like Paris, Rome, or Venice—where grand monuments, wide boulevards, and large crowds steal the spotlight—the Old Town of Lyon offers a more authentic, peaceful, and deeply cultural experience.
Once the capital of Roman Gaul and an economic hub for centuries, Lyon was the most influential city in Europe during its time, thanks to its commercial power, ecclesiastical importance, and strategic location. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving its historical essence and a charm that makes it truly unique.
On our tour of Vieux Lyon, the Renaissance heart of the city, we’ll explore its cobbled streets, cross the traboules—secret passageways connecting courtyards and alleyways—and admire the majestic Saint-Jean Cathedral.
Along the way, you’ll relive Lyon’s history from the Roman era through the Middle Ages and beyond. You’ll hear captivating legends, meet historical figures who shaped the city, and uncover how Lyon’s rich culture and traditions evolved over time.
Join us as we guide you through the hidden corners of Lyon, offering a truly local perspective.
