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 :)

The best part of Lyon - you don't want to miss it!
Overview of your Lyon tour
Let's discover with me the historical center of the city. It is my favorite part of Lyon ! More than 1000 years of history made that special neighbourhood. It is Unesco World Heritage. The typical architecture, the famous 'traboules' and silk shops will transport you to the Renaissance time. I will take you to the most iconic view of the city, at 300 meters high to admire the Fourvière basilica and the amphitheatre. No added costs ! The monuments are free of charge :)
Your Lyon tour itinerary
- We'll start by admiring the St John's cathedral, with the remains of an old church dated back to the 4th century. - We'll wander the passageways called 'traboules' in Lyon language. - We'll see one of the most famous silk shops and learn about the art of silk production. - We'll stop in front of a big clock with some local puppets. And I'll tell you the story of its intriguing inventor. - We'll then climb on foot to admire the amazing view of the city. If we are lucky with the weather, we can even see the Alps! - We'll enter in the basilica close by. This place is consecrated to the virgin Mary; a story that inspired the world famous festival of light in Lyon! - We'll pass through the old remains of the roman amphitheatre, still in use for one of the biggest musical event in Lyon. - We'll finish the tour by walking down to our meeting point, in front of the subway station. During the tour, I will be pleased to recommend you good restaurants, or other things to visit during your stay in Lyon.
