Embark on a morning walk through the streets of Vieux-Lyon, exploring its three areas with a leading specialist in the traboules, those typical passageways of the city of Lyon! Together, we will walk for two hours of enchantment, discovering the city's most beautiful treasures built during the Renaissance.
Meet at the foot of the Saint-Paul train station. We head in the direction of Rue Octavio-Mey for our first traboule, then the walk continues along Rue François Vernay, Rue Lainerie, Rue Juiverie, and so on until we reach the Place du Change, before visiting the Saint-Jean district and finally the Saint-Georges district, the end of the journey, after an uninterrupted discovery of these little architectural gems nestled in the buildings.
Lyon is a city that hides many of its riches and wonders behind its doors and facades. A secret city, reflecting the character often attributed to its people. If you are not staying for long, it is therefore preferable, if not essential, to be informed and accompanied in order to appreciate its charms. I know all of Lyon's traboules. I have visited them all, and then I created the most beautiful sightseeing routes imaginable from all those accessible to the public.
It's also a journey through time, from the distant era of Antiquity to the present day. From square to square, from street to street, from traboule to remarkable inner courtyard, a change of scenery and enchantment are guaranteed when encountering this exceptional heritage.
