Overview

The "Old Town" of Lyon stands as one of France's oldest and most enchanting quarters. Its rich history and architecture exemplify the city's prominence in Europe during the Renaissance period. Designated as the first protected heritage site in France in 1964, this district consistently captivates both visitors and locals, as well as cultural professionals who continually rediscover its secrets. This tour offers an opportunity to leisurely stroll along picturesque cobblestone streets and uncover the historical significance of Lyon's enduring landmarks, such as the renowned Great Silk Industry quarters and the world-famous Gastronomy of Lyon, featuring traditional restaurants known as "Bouchons." Additionally, we will delve into Lyon's role as the "Capital of Resistance" during the Second World War and explore hidden interior courtyards with their secret passageways, famously known as the "traboules."
