Mindful meoweler tips

The traboules of Lyon

Explore the city's secret passages and interconnected alleyways that were used by the Resistance during WW2. Some are hidden behind unassuming doors or require a secret code to enter.

Bouchon Lyonnais

Try the traditional Lyonnais cuisine such as saucisson (sausage), tablier de sapeur (breaded tripe), and quenelles (dumplings). Don't forget to pair your meal with a glass of Côtes du Rhône wine.

Parc de la Tête d'Or

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and unwind in this beautiful park. Home to a zoo, botanical garden, lake, and even a velodrome, you'll find plenty of activities to enjoy.
