Tour description
Let's meet! Underground vibes, street art, radical stories — welcome to the hill that doesn’t follow the rules!
Immerse yourself in a playful journey through the chaos of French history — from Roman times to today — that has shaped Lyon’s landscape and spirit. As we explore the Croix-Rousse hillside, take in breathtaking panoramas, vibrant street art, and the essence of what Lyon is all about. Uncover the roots of its prestigious silk tradition and catch the lingering scent of ancient workers’ riots hidden in secret passageways. The tour ends at the top of the hill, in a food-lovers’ haven where culture, cuisine, and a touch of French humour will make you feel right at home.
