Lyon Private Tours

Lyon is France’s gastronomic capital, with bouchons serving quenelles and andouillette and Renaissance traboules threading through Vieux Lyon. It also sits between the Beaujolais and the Rhone vineyards, and the Monts du Lyonnais rise immediately west: cherry orchards, grazing land and quiet ridges that see very few walkers. Two hours from Paris by train, it makes a natural second stop on a longer French itinerary.
