Listed as World Heritage Site by the Unesco, the Vieux-Lyon is a fascinating neighbourhood that will take you right to the most picturesque areas of Lyon
Cobbled and narrow streets allow to think of the Middles Ages, but the vibe is undeniably Renaissance with the countless colorful courtyards & façades. Definitely an Italian touch in the middle of France
Standing in the heart of the old town, you’ll admire the majestic Gothic cathedral Saint-Jean & its astronomical clock, one of the oldest still working in the world
Come with your guide and push the doors to explore a complex & unexpected labyrinth of secret alleyways : the traboules
A unique experience in the world : in Lyon you can sneak into the buildings, go through an impressive network of courtyards & shortcuts used by Resistants during World War II &. An immersion into Lyon’s golden age when the old town was the heart of the city for almost 1,000 years
Included tour of Saint-Jean Gothic cathedral (12th-15th cent.) with its beautiful stained-glass windows & astronomical clock
This section is not only about history and heritage. It has a real soul & it is fully alive. Between local restaurants (bouchons Lyonnais), silk workshops and local almond praline tastings, the tour of the old town is a dive into the most charming part of the local identity
