Description

Good morning, I'm Bertrand — a proudly French actor and visual artist, born and raised in Lyon. I'm also a passionate professional guide, and I've designed this journey to dive into Lyon's rich culture. Let me share with you the city's secrets and treasures, all seen through a playful French eye!
Let's meet! I love to share my passion and take groups through the hidden gems and monuments of the UNESCO protected area, with a French eye full of soul!

From revolutionary roots to indie cafés, immerse yourself in a playful journey through the chaos of French history — from Roman times to today — that has shaped Lyon’s landscape and spirit. As we explore the Croix-Rousse hillside, take in breathtaking panoramas, vibrant street art, and the essence of what Lyon is all about. Uncover the roots of its prestigious silk tradition and catch the lingering scent of ancient workers’ riots hidden in secret passageways. The tour ends at the top of the hill, in a food-lovers’ haven where culture, cuisine, and a touch of French humor will make you feel right at home.

Ottimo Tour anticonvenzionale

Il tour è ben organizzato e tocca molti punti interessanti della Lione underground. Bertrand è una guida eccellente. Preparato, simpatico, ironico. Il racconto del contesto storico e culturale consente di apprezzare appieno le opere e rende l'esperienza davvero interessante.
