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.

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.
