Overview

Guidekin summary

A private walk that follows Lyon's silk thread from the Roman era to the Renaissance, through the traboules and across both rivers, with a guide who explains why the passages were built and what happened inside them. Only the guide is included; food, drinks and any entries are your own. 4.94 from 160 reviews at €65 per person.

From the guide

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.
