Lyon's Historic Heart: A Journey Through Time
Beneath the gargoyles of Lyon’s Saint-Jean Cathedral, secrets echo off stone walls that have witnessed coronations and conspiracies. Wander the twisting streets where cobblestone alleys once hid rebellious silk workers and whispers of royal scandal. This self-guided audio tour unlocks hidden tales and legendary places around Old Lyon, the Banks of the Saône, and beyond. Discover fascinating corners most visitors walk straight past. Which forgotten archbishop challenged a king right on these cathedral steps? What mysterious clue is buried along the Saône’s shimmering edge? Why did townsfolk risk everything for a strangely carved lion statue? Stride through centuries as church bells chime above vaulted passageways, breathe in stories of revolt and intrigue, and let every turn reveal a new side to Lyon. Unlock ancient doors, follow bold footsteps, and plunge into the city’s dramatic heart. Your journey into Lyon’s hidden history begins now.
