Start your journey at Place Bellecour

Explore the vibrant Presqu'île peninsula
Next, walk through the heart of the city on the narrow peninsula nestled between the Rhône and Saône rivers. This area is famous for its 19th-century architecture and upscale boutiques.
Navigate the secret traboules of Old Lyon
Then, cross the river into the Renaissance district to find the famous traboules. These are hidden covered passageways once used by silk weavers. You will feel like an insider navigating these private stone corridors.
Taste artisanal cheeses and regional wine
Your guide leads you to a specialized cheesemonger and wine expert to sample local products. You will learn to pair regional vintage wines with creamy cheeses and savory pâté en croûte while discussing the nuances of French viticulture.
Visit the historic churches of Old Lyon
As you continue through the cobblestone streets, stop to admire the Gothic and Romanesque details of ancient religious sites. Your guide shares stories of the French Resistance and medieval life that shaped this city.
Finish with a sweet praline treat and ice cream
Your tour finishes at Place Bellecour after enjoying a final stop for iconic pink praline tart and ice cream. Leave the tour with recommendations for where to enjoy your next traditional bouchon dinner.
