Overview
Welcome to the Lugdunum of yesterday—let’s journey through its history to the Lyon of today.
Now that everyone has gathered:
Let’s put things into geographical and historical context. We’ll start at Place de la Comédie and make our way through the most important and representative areas of Lyon’s Presqu’île, where the monuments, buildings, and squares—steeped in history and interesting facts—allow us to enjoy the architecture and colorful elements that define the area. We’ll constantly take trips back in time to different eras, allowing us to discover the city’s entire evolution. We’ll observe the contrasts that exist and visit private areas that have marked important milestones, such as the traboules. Important: we’ll explore the unique and delicious cuisine that defines the city. We’ll conclude with a key overview that also helps us understand the city’s religious perspective.
Through historical facts, anecdotes, and details that only a passionate local guide can provide, we’ll craft a fascinating journey—from Lyon’s vibrant Gallo-Roman past to its cosmopolitan present—an essential tour, especially if this is your first time in Lyon. Let’s go!
