Overview

Pedal through 2,000 years of history on this 2.5-hour guided bike tour of Lyon's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Start at the Grand Hôtel-Dieu, a 12th-century hospital turned hotel, before catching sight of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière watching over the city from its hilltop.

Climb into La Croix-Rousse, the steep, silk-weaving district where traboules once let workers move fabric through the rain, then stop at a mural tracing two millennia of Lyon's history.

Freewheel down to Place des Terreaux and its Bartholdi Fountain, past the Palais de Justice on the Saône, and into the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, where a 14th-century clock still marks the hour.

Cross Place Bellecour, one of Europe's largest pedestrian squares, before finishing at La Confluence, where the Rhône and Saône meet.

Ride a comfortable Dutch-style bike or upgrade to an e-bike, in a small group with a local guide who knows the city's history, food and stories better than any guidebook.

The most beautiful square in all of Lyon is home to the City Hall, Museum of Fine Arts, and the breathtaking Bartholdi Fountain. It serves as the perfect place to take photos, learn some interesting history and legends, and also take a pause and have a drink.

Palais de justice historique de Lyon

  • 5m
The Palais de Justice and its passerelle are a pairing of two iconic landmarks to the city. From the passerelle visitors can see far and wide along the Soane river at the very heart of the city.

Cathedrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon

Finally, we’ll end our journey at La Confluence. The uniqueness of Lyon’s geography is demonstrated by the two waterways that the heart of the city is built between; at the confluence the two waters become one.
