Overview
Welcome to an unforgettable Lyon walking tour!
We start at Place des Terreaux and meet in front of the Bartholdi Fountain. We'll admire the impressive Hôtel de Ville before heading to Croix-Rousse. Known for its silk-weaving heritage, this district offers hidden traboules and stunning views. I'll share stories about the silk workers and the area's history.
Next, we'll descend to Presqu'île to see the Fresque des Lyonnais, a mural celebrating Lyon's famous figures, perfect for photos and learning about notable residents.
Then, we'll head to Vieux Lyon, the Renaissance district with its beautiful architecture and narrow cobblestone streets. We'll explore more traboules and their history. Our tour ends at Cathedrale de Saint-Jean, a Gothic masterpiece. I'll share tales of important events and figures linked to this landmark.
Throughout the tour, I'll recommend the best local restaurants, cafes, and hidden gems to ensure an unforgettable Lyon experience. Join me in discovering Lyon's hidden treasures and iconic landmarks from a local perspective.
