Hi, I'm Paul and I've been a tour guide in Lyon for many years. I love to show people my city and make them understand what makes Lyon one of my favorite cities in the world. There is so much to talk about, from food (the culinary capital of France) to history (resistance, silk) to local culture. I also love to give tips about my favorite restaurants and activities in the city.

Tour description

Step into Lyon's rich history and culture on this immersive walking tour of Croix-Rousse and Vieux Lyon

With your engaging guide, Paul, you'll explore Place des Terreaux, where you’ll admire the impressive Hôtel de Ville, the Museum, and the famous Bartholdi Fountain. From there, we explore Croix-Rousse, once the bustling hub of Lyon’s silk industry.

As we navigate the Traboules—hidden passageways woven with stories of the past—you’ll gain insights into the lives of the silk workers. From the Roman Amphitheatre we'll enjoy breathtaking views of the city.

We then make our way down to Vieux Lyon, the city’s most renowned historic district. Along the way, we’ll stop by the Fresque des Lyonnais, an iconic mural celebrating Lyon’s famous figures, and stroll down Rue Juiverie to marvel at the architecture of the Gallerie Philibert Delorme. We conclude the tour in the lively heart of Vieux Lyon, perfectly timed to enjoy lunch at one of the many local restaurants.

Join me to uncover Lyon’s vibrant past and unique charm!
