Tuesday June, 12th (8:30pm – 11:30pm)

This tour relates 2000 years of history covering an area of 500 hectares offering a remarkable palette of ancient monuments from the past to present day.

From the hill of Fourviere, the Roman Lugdunum and birthplace of our city, the panorama offers a great view of modern Lyon. You will visit, by coach, the city of Lyon, and stop to have a walk around different areas. Walking along the Saône’s river bank, you will enter the medieval and Renaissance district (Vieux Lyon). Fortunately, its rich Renaissance architecture was preserved throughout the years.
The Classical period is represented on the «Presqu’île» (peninsula) where many «Hôtel Particuliers», private homes dating back from the 17th and 18th centuries are located. During the 19th century, the silk industry settled on the hill of the Croix-Rousse which stretches from the Place des Terreaux to the old city remparts.

Participation fee per person:: 55,00 € (VAT included - Booking in advance mandatory)
Minimum 20 people
