DISCOVER LYON

Lyon elected “best urban destination of 2021 in Europe”? This is what the World Travel Awards will reveal on September 5, 2021!

In the meantime, let’s discover the City of Light with 6 guided walking tours to do alone or with friends directly on your smartphone.

Visit the Old Lyon district, listed as a UNSECO World Heritage Site! Start in front of the magnificent Cathedral of Saint Jean and walk through the “traboules”, the hidden passages that join the courtyards of Old Lyon.

Are you a food lover? Choose our culinary tour in the heart of the Presqu’île. Because gastronomy in Lyon is a way of life and a tradition! With your belly well filled, go and discover the Fourvière hill, where Lugdunum, the Roman city that will become Lyon, was founded! A guided tour that begins in front of the magnificent basilica of Notre Dame de Fourvière, patron saint of the city, so dear to the heart of the people of Lyon. From the esplanade, you will see the Place Bellecour, the largest square in Lyon. Then join the impressive vestiges of the Roman era such as the great ancient theater. Still not exhausted? Then go to the famous slopes of the Croix-Rousse and its former 19th century weavers, the “Canuts”!

Continue with another Lyon city tour to relive the terrible history of the French resistance from 1940 to 1944 which ends in front of the Fine Arts Museum! Your journey will come to an end with a visit off the beaten track in the heart of the United States district and its painted walls. You will admire an architecture far from that of the downtown area. This is because the place is home to the grandiose project of the architect Tony Garnier, who aimed to fight against the precariousness of the 20th century workers.
