Croix-Rousse: the other hill - viewpoints, local life, and Lyonnaise essence
Join this tour of the Croix-Rousse, the mythical "colline qui travaille" (the working hill), the authentic soul of Lyon. I am Diego, a resident of this neighborhood. I will take you on a journey that combines workers' history, the best views of Lyon, and the rebellious spirit that defines the Croix-Rousse. Ideal for those who want to know Lyon beyond the tourist spots.
During the tour, we will descend from the Plateau to the Pentes, passing by:
- La Place de la Croix-Rousse, the heart of the neighborhood
- Mur des Canuts, the largest mural in Europe
- The Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse, where we will see one of the most authentic markets in Lyon
- Lookouts with panoramic views
- The mythical Cour des Voraces and its traboules
- Pedestrian streets like the Montée de la Grande-Côte
- The unique architecture of the canuts and the Roman Amphitheater
A walk that connects Roman Lyon with the 19th-century working-class Lyon and today's bohemian neighborhood. A tour full of anecdotes, impressive views, and a lot of history.
