Overview

Put Your Shoes On and Follow Me exploring Lyon’s gems!
Take a stroll through the streets of the slopes of Croix-Rousse hill to relive the golden age of silk, recall the silk workers revolts (Canuts), take secret passageways along typical architectural buildings and discover key street art highlights.
Guided by a true Lyon native grew up eating pike quenelle and runny St Marcelin cheese, you’ll gain a deeper, more intimate understanding of the city and the people who keep these streets alive.
Fun facts are included as well as one coffee or tea at the end of the tour
My personal touch: Focusing on a slow pace away from the tourists rush.
