Discover Lyon, France like a local: The city of French gastronomy

Hosted by

Karilyne

Guided trip
Hi! I am Karilyne, originally from Haute-Savoie near Switzerland, and currently living in the 8th arrondissement of Lyon. I am a freelance recruiter, 24 years old, a traveler at heart and an apprentice artist, musician, and painter. I often travel with my boyfriend, Sebastien, mostly in Europe. I speak French and English fluently, some Italian and Spanish, plus a few words in other languages as Japanese. I like to show my city by planning and organizing the schedule to show the best of Lyon. 📍 What's on the program? 4 days in a home away from home: in the center of Lyon, close to everything from restaurants and cafés to shopping and cultural spots. I always choose a home that has comfortable beds (yes, I enjoy a good night of comfy sleep when I can, haha), a washing machine, a full kitchen, a great shared area to relax and socializing. During these 4 days, you will be free to relax/explore/socialize, according to your schedule and rhythm. I always keep the kitchen fully stocked with tea/coffee/herbal teas/hot chocolate/cakes/biscuits/fruit and more so that it becomes a great break room. Depending on what you want to see, I planned for you to visit different mythic places of Lyon, museums if you like it, 1 restaurant in a “bouchon”, (typical restaurant of Lyon), drinks, cooking meals, eating out, city discovery walks, art exhibitions and parties out if you want. I am very accommodating and will schedule visits based on what you wish to do. 5 REASONS TO JOIN : 1. Time for a change See something new! 2.

Trip Itinerary
1

La Longue Traboule

Day 1
Discover these mythical hidden passages that only the locals can know. These passages were used a lot in the Middle Ages: they allowed the inhabitants of the lower part of the Fourvière hill to get supplies from the wells of the medieval city. The traboules then spread to the rest of Lyon and evolved at the same pace as the city's development.

I always keep the kitchen fully stocked with tea/coffee/herbal teas/hot chocolate/cakes/biscuits/fruit and more so that it becomes a great break room.

Authentique Bouchon Lyonnais

The bouchon is a typical restaurant where you can eat specialities such as the tablier de sapeur, quenelles, lyonnaise salad and cervelle de canut. This traditional place must be simple and friendly.
