Explore Vieux Lyon and its traboules
Vieux Lyon, France
Start around Saint-Jean, then follow the cobbled streets towards Saint-Paul and Saint-Georges. Vieux Lyon’s interest lies as much behind its façades as along them: open courtyards and traboules reveal staircases, galleries and passages between streets. Join a guided walk if you want help finding the accessible entrances and understanding the buildings. Many passages are part of private homes, so keep voices low, follow posted access rules and leave closed doors alone.
