Discover the gems of the city center with this immersion into downtown Lyon : the Presqu’ile area
Literally “almost an island”, the Presqu’ile is the heart of the third largest city in France. A thin strip of land located between the Rhône & Saône rivers
From Bellecour to Terreaux areas, let’s have a walk between must-sees for visitors and everyday life for the locals
As quintessential Lyonnais, your guide will meet you “under the horse’s tail”, i.e., Place Bellecour, next to the equestrian statue of Louis XIV
Then get ready for a walk through :
– The landmarks of Lyon : Haussmannian architecture of our dear “rue de la Ré” where we all go shopping, the Fontaine Bartholdi, the unexpected “Toaster” (Opera House) half of us love & half of us hate, charming squares such as Place des Jacobins or Place des Célestins, or the majestic Grand Hôtel-Dieu where many Lyonnais were born,
– A lovely immersion into the local culture & everyday life : rue Mercière full of local restaurants & its unusual old town vibe in the middle of Parisian-like boulevards, small squares with cafés, farmers’ market everyday on Quai Saint-Antoine…
C’est la (actual) vie (in Lyon) !
