About this activity

Put Your Shoes On and Follow Me exploring Lyon’s gems!

The Peninsula is Lyon’s vibrant heart, nestled between the Rhone and Saône rivers. Stretching from Place des Terreaux down to the modern Confluence district, this central area blends elegant 19th‐century architecture with major landmarks that we will discover.

From Place Bellecour to the Grand Hotel Dieu, Jacobins Fountain, a famous passage, Italian style Rue Mercière to end Place des Terreaux.

Guided by a true Lyon native grew up eating pike quenelle and runny St Marcelin cheese, you’ll gain a deeper, more intimate understanding of the city and the people who keep these streets alive.

Fun facts are included as well as one tasting of pistachio-based products on the way

My personal touch: Focusing on a slow pace away from the tourists rush.
