Old Lyon is one of the largest Renaissance districts in the world and is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You will meet a local guide and set out to explore the heart of this historic quarter. Along the way you’ll pass the Cathedral and walk through the narrow lanes that give the area its distinctive character.
As you move through the old town, your guide will lead you to the traboules — the secret passageways that link buildings and courtyards. You’ll learn about the neighbourhood’s architecture and its hidden corners as you move from the Cathedral to these tucked-away routes. The experience focuses on seeing and understanding Old Lyon’s Renaissance streets and the intimate urban spaces that helped shape its history.
