Your experience

Discover what awaits you on this tour from Vieux-Lyon to Bellecour. A walking exploration that blends light history, insights into everyday Lyon life, and an authentic atmosphere.

An immersion from the traboules of Vieux-Lyon to the squares of the Presqu’île

This tour begins in the heart of Vieux-Lyon, a Renaissance district listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll wander through its cobblestone alleys, secret inner courtyards, and typical passageways—its famous traboules. Your guide shares anecdotes about the builders, the craftsmen of the past, the traditional bouchons… as well as stories about local life today.

We then cross the Saône River to reach Place Bellecour, one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe. It’s the perfect moment to talk about its role in the city’s history, the symbols surrounding it, and the great spots located nearby.

The pace remains relaxed and the tone light: you learn things without even noticing, and you enjoy the city through the eyes of someone truly passionate—even if they’re not your history teacher.
