Details
The visit begins between the Opera House and City Hall, in the heart of the Terreaux district. The route leads down to the Saône, passing through iconic sites of power, culture, and the first film screenings. A stop along the riverbank offers a view over the city, its hills, and Fourvière, seen through the lens of its spiritual and cinematic heritage. The tour continues through the narrow streets of Vieux Lyon, a once-dark neighbourhood now turned into an iconic backdrop for countless stories. At each stop, scenes are projected or viewed on tablets, building a narrative step by step through spaces and sequences. The walk ends in a local restaurant. A refreshing drink is offered, followed by a final quiz celebrating the full diversity of Lyon on screen.
