Descrizione
Experience Lyon like a true French local in just 3 hours. History, hidden traboules, artisan stops, wine tasting and pétanque, everything that makes Lyon unique, all in one afternoon.
Begin your experience at Place Bellecour, Lyon's grand central square, under the statue of Louis XIV. Walk north along the Saône riverbanks through Quai des Célestins and Quai Saint-Antoine, discovering Lyon's history: the origins of the Roman city, the legendary 8th of December Festival of Lights, the history of the bridges, and the silhouette of Fourvière Basilica watching over the city from its hilltop.
At Quai de la Pêcherie, pass the bouquinistes market, Lyon's charming open-air secondhand book stalls, before reaching the Fresque des Lyonnais, the largest trompe-l'oeil mural in Europe depicting the most iconic figures in Lyon's history. From there, board the historic funicular to rise up onto the Croix-Rousse plateau, home of Lyon's Canuts silk-weavers.
Upon arrival, visit the Cour des Voraces, one of Lyon's most iconic traboules, a hidden passageway used by silk workers and Resistance fighters, featuring a spectacular six-floor spiral staircase that few tourists ever discover. Hear about the story of the silk industry, the workers, and the social uprisings that shaped modern French labor history.
On the plateau, stop at a traditional butcher to handpick your own charcuterie, then at a local fromagerie to choose a regional cheese. End your afternoon at Cave Tabareau, a beloved Lyon institution, where you can assemble your own sharing board, taste a curated selection of Rhône Valley wines with commentary from the sommelier, and play a relaxed game of pétanque.
