Description
Stroll among Lyon's monuments, traboules, and iconic squares on a guided walking tour from the Presqu'île to Vieux-Lyon. Culture, history, and local charm are on the agenda!
Lyon is a city that reveals itself to those who take the time to explore it. During this 2-hour guided walking tour, let yourself be guided between heritage and art de vivre, from the squares of the Presqu'île to the narrow streets of Vieux-Lyon.
We will start our walk near the Saône River, in the historic district of Vieux-Lyon. Along the way, we will cross over to the Presqu'île, the beating heart of the city, famous for its beautiful squares, elegant shops, and classical architecture. You will discover iconic sites such as the Place des Jacobins, the elegant Hôtel-Dieu, and the vast Place Bellecour.
Your guide will then take you back in time as you return to Vieux-Lyon. You will explore its famous traboules, secret passageways typical of the city, as well as its characterful Renaissance facades. Far from academic discourse, your guide will share lively anecdotes and stories that bring each stone to life.
