Lyon Between Two Eras: Art, History, and Secrets

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

We begin at the majestic Lyon Opera House, right in the Plaza de la Comédie, to delve into the cultural heart of the city. We will stroll through the Place des Terreaux, admiring the imposing Bartholdi statue and the Hotel de Ville. Along the way, you will discover the urban art that decorates Lyon, the Saint-Nizier church, the charm of the Place des Jacobins, and the refined Théâtre des Célestins.

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