Description
- WELCOME FOR AN INTRODUCTION TO LYON'S CULTURE & SOUL !
I invite you for a dive into the city's soul. Discover my hometown through its cuisine, landmarks, history, social life and traditions, I'll guide you in my own casual frenchy style. My tours are based on serious, documented information, in a way that feels more like a great conversation than a lecture.
- HIDDEN PASSAGES
We'll visit the famous Traboules, unmissable architectural and historic features, unique to Lyon but difficult to find for tourists, I'll open the doors for you !
- FREE RECOMMENDATION MAP
I’ll also give you my best advice for the rest of your stay — where to eat, what to see, what to skip, and where to go if you want to experience Lyon like a local.
- PEDAGOGIC CONTENT AND SPEECH
Along the way, I’ll use my designer’s notebook, packed with visual graphics, to make the stories easier — and more fun — to follow. Expect top-quality storytelling with a local comedian, plenty of French humour.
- 2000+ YEARS OF HISTORY
Roman times, Middle Ages and Renaissance, when Lyon became one of Europe’s major centres. We’ll also discover the glorious and rebellious history of the silk production, before moving into the upheavals of the First and Second World Wars and their consequences for the city.
- FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!
Discover the History behind Lyon’s prestigious food culture, learn about the city’s most famous traditional dishes and regional specialities, and understand why food is such an essential part of Lyon’s identity.
