Hello there! My name is Noémie. I'm from Britany, and have lived in Lyon for 8 years. I came to study and then never left! In my spare time, I love to perform on improv shows, to cook, and to go hiking (I even began the Way of St James!). I also spend time with one of my seven sisters, who also lives there. I became a professional guide in 2021 and chose this job because I like to learn new things every day, enjoy meeting new people, and speak foreign languages. As a student in Lyon, I loved spending time in the Musée des Confluences, and I always dreamed about working there. My dream came true! We have one of the nicest views! And I love seeing people amazed by what they are discovering. I love my city because there is always something to do. You can shop for locally made objects, wander in the cobbled old streets, refresh near the rivers, rest in the Parc de la tête d'Or, or eat an ice cream (you just have to choose between more than 50 tastes)! So I put myself in your shoes to create the perfect tour to discover the must-see but also off the beaten tracks and have a real taste of French culture! For me, a guided tour is a shared moment, a unique human experience. I want us to spend a good time, and feel like you were one of my friends visiting. I will also share with you my recommendations for your stay in the city, depending on what you like, of course. I look forward to meeting you in my beautiful city :)

Overview of your Lyon tour

Every year, the festival of lights attracts people from all over the world ! Candles on windows, monuments animated with lights, hot drinks on the streets, that is the ambiance you will find in Lyon for these special days. It only lasts from the 5th to the 8th of december, so book fast ! The rehearsal happens on the 4th if you want to experience the event without lot of people but not in the final version.

Your Lyon tour itinerary

We'll see the emblematic monuments of the city illuminated during the night and the animations projected on them. Special shows in light in all the streets of the centre and beyond. I'll tell you everything about this special event that has origins back to the 17th century. We'll take a pause to have a hot drink. Streets may be full of people, and we might have to wait to see some illuminations. Local transports can be slower.
