Iconic Views and Hidden Stories With A Local 🧵🎨🌟
Hi! I'm French and have lived in Lyon for most of my life. I love sharing my culture and history with visitors. In addition to giving tours, I'm an author and illustrator of historical comics, which allows me to offer a unique perspective on history, art, and the French lifestyle. And don't worry—jokes are included at no extra charge!
Pickup
📍 36 Boulevard des Canuts, 69004 Lyon (Directly in front of the famous Mur des Canuts mural – you can’t miss it!) 🚇 How to Get There: Take the C Line of the subway from the city center in the direction of Cuire and get off at Hénon metro station. ⚠️ I recommend taking the subway—it’s a hill, and walking up can take longer than expected. Don’t worry, we’ll walk down from there! 👋 How to Spot Me: I’ll be right there wearing a beret and holding a red notebook.
