Tour description

Did you know that Lyon is a city with two souls? One modern, vibrant, and full of art; and the other ancient, mysterious, holding secrets within its medieval alleys. On this tour, I invite you to discover both.

We begin at the majestic Lyon Opera House, right in the heart of Comedy Square, to delve into the cultural heart of the city. We'll stroll through the Place des Terreaux, admiring the imposing statue of Bartholdi and the Hotel de Ville. Along the way, you'll discover the urban art that adorns Lyon, the Church of Saint-Nizier, the charm of the Place des Jacobins, and the refined Théâtre des Célestins.

But the story is just beginning here… Crossing the river, we enter Old Lyon, where the traboules (secret passageways) await us with stories of resistance and everyday life. We end at the magical Place Saint-Jean, leaving you ready to continue exploring the Fourvière Hills and Fourvière Church on your own.
