Only the guide is included; food, drinks and any entries are your own. 4.94 from 160 reviews at €65 per person.
Were there any lions in Lyon? What kind of troubles happened in the "traboules"? And why were they built in the first place?
From Roman Empire to Renaissance, through hidden passages and across the rivers, follow with me the silky thread of Lyon's history and feel the passage of time.
