Book a 2-hour walking tour of Lyon’s Old Town and its Jewish sites.

Hear fascinating stories about the Jewish people who lived at Rue Lanterne, and stroll through the historic Old Town (Vieux Lyon) to discover the remnants of the medieval Jewish quarter. One of the highlights is Rue Juiverie (""Jewish Street.""), where many Jewish families once lived and worked.
