Overview
Discover places with an unsuspected history, as you stroll through some of Lyon's most emblematic sites of repression.
On this tour, you'll discover not only the capital of the Resistance, but also the hidden face of Nazi repression and collaboration.
During this tour, which lasts between 1h30 and 2h, you'll discover how Resistance fighters and Jews were arrested and treated in Lyon. You'll learn where the Gestapo was based, how the Milice operated, and where interrogations and deportations took place.
Along the way, you'll discover emblematic figures, whether members of the Resistance or those responsible for the repression, as well as anonymous witnesses, victims, or actors. We'll bring to life specific and sometimes little-known anecdotes that will help you understand how the war and occupation transformed the face of Lyon.
This walk will allow you to rediscover the city and ask yourself: behind which facade, in which courtyard, in which square, hides a memory, a trace of those who had the misfortune to fall and the courage to resist.
