Let’s « traboule »
Old Lyon
The indispensable tour
Listed as World Heritage Site by the Unesco, the Vieux-Lyon is such a fascinating neighbourhood that takes you right to the most picturesque part of Lyon.
Cobbled and narrow streets allow to think of the Middles Ages, but the vibe is undeniably Renaissance with a huge number of colorful courtyards and façades. Definitely an Italian touch in the middle of France.
Standing in the heart of the old town, admire the majestic Gothic cathedral Saint-Jean and its astronomical clock.
Come with your guide and push the doors ! You’ll explore a complex and unexpected labyrinth of secret alleyways : the traboules.
So unique in the world : in Lyon you can sneak into the buildings, go through this unique network of courtyards used by Resistants during World War II and end up in different streets ! An immersion to Lyon’s golden age when the old town was the heart of the city.
This section is not only about history and heritage. It has a soul and it is fully alive. Between local restaurants (bouchons Lyonnais), silk workshops and praline tastings, the tour of the old town is an immersion into the most charming part of the local identity.
