Step back in time to ancient Lugdunum, the Roman capital of Gaul, on a guided walking tour. Discover the city’s rich history and culture as you explore its ancient sites and learn about its transformation from a Roman metropolis to modern-day Lyon.

Next, visit the Odeon, a smaller but more refined theater where the literati gathered for recitations and eloquence contests. Learn about the reserved seats for local senators and the power of culture in both Rome and Lyon.

Continue to the Sanctuary of Cybele, where you’ll learn about the Romans’ fascination with foreign gods and the intriguing rituals of the eunuch priests.
