Dark tales of Lyon
Lyon, contrary to what many think, isn't just made of lights...Come and get lost in the dark legends which gave the city its devilish reputation. We’ll start out tour in the Saint George district, shuned even by tourists, where we’ll search for evil spirits. Then, we’ll cross the Saône River to get to the magnificent Celestins Theatre to listen to the story of a particular guest… We will go back to the Vieux-Lyon district to admire the Saint Jean Cathedral which hides secrets mostly unheared of. We will continue through the Rue du Boeuf, the most Michelin-starred of France, to uncover pagan rituals, and we will keep thrilling with stories of enigmatic water-diviners and beings from other worlds. Last but not leat, we’ll finish our tour on Terreaux Square, before the Palais des Beaux-Arts, rocked by the spectral voices of the dark nuns who gave the building a most sulphurous fame. NOTE: The tour is also suitable for children, the storytelling can be adapted to any type of audience. However, it is the parents' liability to judge of the sensibility of their children. Remember that we'll be talking about dark and evil stories. WARNING!! The tour is offered in French.

From Maître Philippe and his incredible healing abilities, to the alchemists and other secret societies, Lyon is full of enlightened people of all kinds. From the Cathedral of Saint John to the Rue du Boeuf, we will get to the district of Saint Paul and its Streets of the Jews. We will also go and meet two priests who made big headlines in their time because of their strange practices. Finally, we will focus on the square of Terreaux with its magnificent City Hall and Fine Arts Museum, to finish our tour looking for the mystics of the Croix-Rousse slopes.

In this past year, I’ve been lucky enough to get to know Baptiste, owner of a Cave à vin in my neighbourhood who has an amazing wine selection and a true passion for his craft. He also likes to pair his wines with great charcuterie and cheeses from local shops. I’d like to offer a tour of part of the famous Presqu’île de Lyon where my guests will be able to discover the architecture and history of the city as well as my favourite spots to eat, drink, shop or just stroll around. The tour will end at Baptiste’s where we'll enjoy a taste of different wines, with a nice cheese and/or charcuterie board (and I promise, it’s no ordinary board, it’s truly delicious). We’ll help the guests appreciate different flavours and feelings in each wine and enjoy a convivial time together. Of course, guests are welcome to stay longer and enjoy their evening there.
