Description

Step through the secret doors of Vieux Lyon. Hidden traboules, forgotten legends, a neighborhood that time seems to have spared: discover a Lyon that few really know.
Far from the crowded alleyways of central Old Lyon, the Saint-Georges district jealously guards its secrets. On a 1-hour and 15-minute loop, let yourself be told about the origins of silk in Lyon, the story of a diamond hunt and a host of little anecdotes that only true Lyonnais know (and even then!). A small-scale tour, featuring discreet traboules and fascinating anecdotes, to rediscover the city in a different way.

The tour is a 1-hour and 15-minute loop that starts and ends in Place Benoît-Crépu.

Highlights

  • Enjoy a tour led by a certified guide
  • Join a small group tour for better interaction
  • Discover a UNESCO World Heritage district

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Children therefore remain under the responsibility of their parents throughout the tour
Shh, we're in a lively neighborhood! Old Lyon is not an open-air museum: people live there, work there, and sleep there (sometimes even at the time of the tour!). Please keep your voice at a reasonable volume, for the comfort of other visitors as well as residents.
Zero tolerance for discriminatory or hateful language: we are here to discover, share and marvel together. Racist, sexist, homophobic remarks or any form of discrimination won't be tolerated and will result in immediate exclusion from the tour, without reimbursement
Punctuality, please: Old Lyon is waiting for us, but not forever! Please arrive a few minutes before the meeting time so as not to keep the rest of the group waiting.
At Place Benoît-Crépu in the Saint-Georges neighborhood, near the statue of Monsignor Lavarenne
