Bonjour!
I’m Quentin, your local guide to Lyon’s secrets and stories. Join us through the neighborhood that shaped Lyon’s soul—a hill full of history, creativity, and surprises.
Discover Croix-Rousse hill (without having to climb up )!
Starting at the top and winding down to the city center, you’ll explore ancient pathways, vibrant markets and street art, all without breaking a sweat.
✅ This tour is suitable for all ages, and I will do my best to entertain everyone.
✅ Croix-Rousse is a hill, hopefully we only go down, making it super easy. Text me if you’re concerned!

I’m paid by tips, but you’re free to give whatever you can and what you think it's worth. Really, you do you!
You can meet me in front of the Statue of Joseph Marie Jacquard (158 Bd de la Croix-Rousse, 69001 Lyon).
