Hello and welcome, happy travelers! My name is Clémence, a licensed professional guide specializing in Lyon and the beautiful Rhône-Alpes region. Born in the French Alps and raised between countryside and city life, I developed an early fascination for heritage and storytelling. Childhood visits to historic castles with guided tours sparked what later became my vocation. After studying Tourism, I became a guide in 2011, combining my love for history, culture, and human connection. Since then, I’ve had the chance to meet travelers from all over the world, which continuously enriches my perspective and keeps my work inspiring. I am based just outside Lyon, one of France’s most remarkable cities, and I offer a wide range of tours there and in the surrounding region. My main interests include gastronomy, Roman and medieval history, WW2 history, landscapes, photography, arts and crafts, and music. I enjoy showing both iconic highlights and authentic local places such as markets, hidden streets, and everyday neighborhoods. My guiding style is dynamic, friendly, and tailored to your interests. I aim to go beyond dates and facts by sharing how people live here, what makes this region unique, and what might surprise you as a visitor. I also place great importance on flexibility and personalization — your experience is always my priority. Feel free to contact me for any special request. I will be happy to design a fully customized tour for you. I look forward to meeting you! Clémence

What if Lyon’s history was told through the women who shaped it? Step off the beaten path and discover powerful, untold stories — from pioneering feminist Eugénie Niboyet to the silk workers behind the groundbreaking Ovalistes strikes. Explore the city through its female legacy, from the culinary influence of the iconic “Mères Lyonnaises” like Mère Léa to the courage of Resistance heroine Lucie Aubrac, and the everyday lives of women who tried in the 19th century to fight for their rights. A fresh, engaging, and deeply human way to experience Lyon — beyond the usual stories. Lyon — more personal, more human, and deeply meaningful.
The tours starts on place Bellecour and goes through the "Presqu'île" (peninsula). You will discover along the way this beautiful part of Lyon, listed by UNESCO. We will enter a beautiful but hidden church, an amazing art deco building, walk through the Bellecour and Terreaux square, see the Chamber of Commerce...
