Guided tours for the whole family
It's sometimes difficult to motivate children for a guided tour or museum visit. To help them discover Lyon in a stimulating way, opt for an original means of transport such as bike, boat or bus tour to give them a different view of the city. You can also make a visit of traboules and courtyards which are located in Vieux-Lyon and Croix-Rousse, so they feel like they're on a giant hide-and-seek adventure!
