THE BEST OF LYON

Avoid the busiest hours to explore Lyon’s UNESCO-protected historic area. Discover the city through its cuisine, architecture, history, social life and traditions, I'll guide you in my own casual frenchy style.


MEET A TRUE LOCAL

I’m a history expert and culture enthusiast, so you can ask me anything. My tours are based on serious, documented information, in a way that feels more like a great conversation than a history lecture.


RECOMMENDATION LIST

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.


BE MY GUEST AND GET IT ALL!

Along the way, I’ll use my designer’s notebook, packed with visual graphics and slides, to make the stories easier — and more fun — to follow. Expect top-quality storytelling with a local comedian, plenty of French humour, and access to some of Lyon’s secret passages.


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.


SEE YOU!
