A two hour walk from Vieux Lyon to the Presqu'île through the city's grim legends: the spectres of Saint Georges, werewolf tales and the assassins of old Lyon, told by a guide on foot. There is no bar or terrace stop, so eat before you come. 5 from 34 reviews at €38 per person.
Lyon, contrary to what one thinks, is not made only of light ... I invite you to come wander in the dark legends of the city in order to meet its specters, because Lyon does not reveal itself easily to travelers .... From Vieux-Lyon to the Presqu'île, we will stroll through the dark streets in search of symbols and ancient rituals which, perhaps, still influence the inhabitants. From the evil spirits of St. George, to the lycanthropes and tough assassins of Lyon, the city drags a reputation as a demonic city.
NOTE: The tour is open to children, the speech can be adapted to the type of audience. However, it is the responsibility of parents to judge the sensitivity of their children.
WARNING!! This tour is offered in French, but if you wish to have it in English write to me before booking. Thanks!
