It covers 24 hectares along the banks of the river Saone. After visiting the gothic cathedral, we will wander through the narrow cobbled streets and traboules: these famous covered passageways going from one street to the next via corridors through houses hide superbly renovated architectural treasures (inner courtyards, galleries à l'italienne, spiral staircases, etc.). Meeting point: in front of Vieux Lyon metro station, Avenue A. Max, 5e arr., 18h. From the convention center : Bus 58, direction: Bellecour, stop: Bellecour.
