Meeting point

Place Saint Jean

On arrival

The closest metro stop is Vieux Lyon. But if you stay in the city center, Place Saint-Jean is not difficult to walk to. We meet at the statue in the middle of Place Saint Jean. I'll be holding a sign saying 'Free Tour Lyon'.

Things to note

If you need to contact me via Free tour chat. If you're a bit late.

I'm normally on place St jean until 10:15 or so.
