Begin your tour at Place Bellecour, where you’ll learn about the Jewish presence in Lyon since the Middle Ages. Continue to Rue Grolée, a commercial district where a modern Jewish bourgeoisie emerged in the 19th century. Learn about the bankers, watchmakers, and printers who settled here, many of whom came from Alsace and Germany after 1870. Next, visit the Synagogue du Quai Tilsitt, built in 1864 as a symbol of official recognition. Then, head to the former oratory on Rue des Quatre-Chapeaux, where services were held in private apartments before the construction of the grand synagogue. Proceed to Place des Terreaux, where a network for rescuing children was hidden under the town hall during the war. Finally, visit the Prison of Montluc or the Museum of the Resistance in Lyon, depending on your taste and availability of the places*. *Please note that a 20 mn ride by public transport will be needed to access those places
