After having been a professional guide for several years in the south of France, I am now an official guide for the city of Lyon.

Driven by the same passion for 20 years, I am waiting for you in Lyon to help you discover the entire city, listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

We will use the funicular to travel between Fourvière hill and Old Lyon.

If you wish, we can also discover the Presqu'île district and the Croix Rousse district together.

As an official guide, I will of course adapt to all your desires and will not fail to show you the gastronomic specialties of Lyon, as well as recommend its best restaurants.
