Lyon Free Walking Tour – Renaissance Old Town, Silk Traboules & Gastronomy Capital

Lyon is France's second city and, many would argue, its true capital of food. Built where the Rhône meets the Saône, it layers Roman ruins, a magnificent Renaissance old town and the hidden world of the silk weavers into one of the country's most rewarding cities to explore on foot. On this walking tour a local guide brings all of it to life.

You will wander the cobbled lanes of Vieux Lyon, step through the famous traboules – secret covered passageways used by silk merchants and later the Resistance – and hear how Lyon became the birthplace of French gastronomy. From riverside squares to hilltop views, this is the perfect introduction to a city that Parisians secretly envy.
