Overview

10:00 AM | English

Begin your morning with a delightful journey through Lyon’s rich cultural tapestry. Our tour starts at Place des Terreaux, where you'll see the majestic Hôtel de Ville, the fascinating Museum, and the beautiful Bartholdi Fountain.

From there, we go to the bohemian charm of Croix-Rousse. Step into the world where silk workers once breathed life into the city, and wander through the intriguing Traboules—hidden passageways. Our knowledgeable guide will weave captivating stories of the past, making history come alive with every step.

Next, after admiring the vivid Fresque des Lyonnais, we walk to the old town, Vieux Lyon. Stroll along ancient streets as you admire enchanting allure of Rue Juiverie, featuring the stunning Gallerie Philibert Delorme. We conclude in the vibrant center of Vieux Lyon, arriving just in time for lunch in one of the area’s charming eateries.
