Beskrivning
Step into the heart of Vieux Lyon to uncover its Renaissance history and secret traboules. Learn about its gastronomy and hidden gems on an insider tour that goes far beyond the typical highlights.
Hi, I’m Alexiane! I’m a professional licensed guide, but more importantly, I’m a "Gone" that’s what we call a true local born and raised right here in Lyon. Forget the dry history books; I want to show you the living, breathing version of my home city in a fun, interactive way.
We’ll start our stroll at the red-tinted Place Bellecour (the heart of the city) before crossing the Saône River, to enter the UNESCO Old Town. As we wander through the cobblestone streets of the Renaissance district, I’ll show you the "traboules" those secret, hidden passageways that most people walk right past without noticing.
Along the way, we’ll stop by the stunning Saint-Jean Cathedral and I’ll share stories of the silk weavers and characters who made Lyon famous. Of course, we can't talk about Lyon without talking about food! I’ll give you the real "insider" scoop on our famous Bouchons Lyonnais, what to order (praline tart, anyone?), and which tourist traps to avoid.
I’m fluent in English and Spanish, I've travelled the world +50 countries and lived in 8 of them so we can dive as deep into the stories as you like. Whether you’re here for the history, the hidden gems, or just a great local recommendation for dinner, I’ve got you covered. Let’s explore Lyon together!
