Hi everybody, My name's Jean. I am a tour guide in the beautiful city of Lyon, my hometown. I was born and raised there and it is my pleasure to welcome you to this incredible place. What I want is to tell you stories. I believe in the magical power of stories, because no matter where we come from, stories connect us and invite us on wonderful journeys! Stories are universal and carry values that we all cherish, so if you love stories, I am your man. I graduated in Art History and Archeology, but I am passionate about World War II and the history of the Jewish people. I studied also the American Civil War and the world of the impressionists. All this background has helped me to always keep in mind one important thing that my father also told me : history is great when it's shared. My goal is to reveal you the different sides of my hometown, so that you become, at the end of your tour, a real Lyonnais! But of course, I am at your entire disposal if you want to make trips outside Lyon to places such as the Beaujolais Wine Country for instance! Ask me and I will deliver. See you soon in Lyon my dear friends, Jean - I have been vaccinated against COVID-19 (your security is my TOP priority) - Licensed Tour Guide - Graduate of Art History and Archeology - Guide in the Museum of the Resistance and Deportation in Lyon - Guide for river cruising companies like Viking River Cruises, AmaWaterways and Uniworld

    Jean is incredibly knowledgeable and well informed over a broad range of issues. He communicates clearly in an engaging way and brings the history of Lyon and its Jewish population in an engaging way. Three hours seemed like 30 minutes. That time passed so quickly is the best compliment we can give. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Jean.

    Jean was friendly and engaging. He organized this tour in an authentic and engaging way. He started with a basic grounding on what constitutes a mural and how is it differentiated from other forms of outdoor artwork (eg fresco, graffiti, etc). He then took us to 5 amazing murals. He approached/revealed each mural in a creative and thoughtful way. He paced the tour based...

    What a great experience! My husband was a bit skeptical about the subject matter but ended up loving the tour. He said it was the best walking tour that he has ever taken. Jean is a master storyteller and made the history very exciting and accessible. We highly recommend this tour!
