Overview

Lyon, contrary to what one thinks, is not made only of light ... I invite you to come wander in the dark legends of the city in order to meet its specters, because Lyon does not reveal itself easily to travelers .... From Vieux-Lyon to the Presqu'île, we will stroll through the dark streets in search of symbols and ancient rituals which, perhaps, still influence the inhabitants. From the evil spirits of St. George, to the lycanthropes and tough assassins of Lyon, the city drags a reputation as a demonic city. NOTE: The tour is open to children, the speech can be adapted to the type of audience. However, it is the responsibility of parents to judge the sensitivity of their children. WARNING!! This tour is offered in French, but if you wish to have it in English write to me before booking. Thanks!

Amazing, Kind, & Gruesome

Published on May, 2023

I had an absolutely wonderful time with Nico on this tour. He is incredibly knowledgable and personable, and the tour itself is very well constructed, carving through the hilly medieval streets of Lyon with supernatural tales, architectural history, and the occasional gruesome murder. We saw some less crowded corners of the old city as well as some more typical sites, stopping along the way to admire, for example, small stonemasonry details on the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, or the illuminated view of Fourvière from a bridge, the square by Théâtre Célestins, etc. Nico himself is super duper kind. I lucked out in that the tour ended up just being me; since I am learning French, Nico conducted the tour in French, and since he's a professor of languages, he also helped me with my own language as I responded, even giving me some practical tips for moving forward in my own time. Really just a purely positive experience. By the end I felt like I hadn't paid enough for what I received. Thank you, Nico!

The beautiful - and bloody! - city of Lyon at night

Published on May, 2023

I took this tour in English and it was excellent! It definitely showed a new side of the beautiful city of Lyon, and it was lovely (and hair-raising!) to experience the beautiful old town at night and hear the thrilling stories of the past. Excellent guide, can highly recommend!
