What you can expect

  • Discover the Vieux-Lyon district during the Renaissance, the golden age of printing. Your guide will become a storyteller and will immerse you in the adventures of Catherine, a woman printer.

    From the bustle of its print shop to the dark taverns, from the construction of the sets for the royal entrance to the parade welcoming the king, you will feel like you are living in that era. You will follow in Catherine's storey, in the footsteps of an unscrupulous competing printer. Will she manage to save her printing press and her sons from her grip?

    This narrated tour brings the buildings of this UNESCO-listed Renaissance district to life and the traboules through which you wander. Immersed in the tale, you will see the adventures of the characters unfold right before your eyes!

    This fictional storey is based on a real historical context. You will discover the world of Lyon printing in the 16th century and the Old Lyon district. With suspense and emotion!
