Very beautiful experience, we really enjoyed this theatrical and historical tour. Our host was excellent; she captivated the attention of both adults and children with the quality of her performance, her knowledge, and the answers to all our questions, all this for 2 hours + she sings very well.
A very good time spent with a fascinating guide/actress who helped us discover the slopes of the Croix-Rousse and their history.
Very satisfied with the experience: booking, directions, check-in, the tour, and the commentary. I recommend the theatrical tour of Old Lyon, an original, fun, and different way to discover Lyon, Old Lyon.
Excellent storytelling tour of the Croix-Rousse hill. This unusual tour really delighted us. Full of anecdotes about the harsh living conditions and struggles of the Canuts in the 19th century. The guide really knows their subject and conveys the history of the neighborhood's life from yesterday and today with passion. We loved it.
A very interesting stroll, rich in explanations and clear, with a narrator who keeps us on the edge of our seats! I recommend it!
Walk with friends full of charm and historical and cultural interest on this city that I discover for the first time from a tourist angle.
We had a great time with Agent L! We recommend this tour warmly.
Very nice visit, original , nice guide.I recommend
We all loved this visit of the Red Cross, animated by Alexander; through his eloquence and humor, he knew how to captivate us and bring his characters to life. Many THANKS to him for this shared moment.
We have been swept into history! Although LYONNAIS, we rediscovered history and places that we had never seen or not seen in a long time.
I tested the discovery of the Red Cross, before bringing my first graders there in April. I enjoyed it very much, my wife too.
We really liked Clemence's story. Everything was important to hear to understand the Red Cross, the Canuts and their way of life at the time. We were able to discover the Croix Rousse district, its traboules and discreet passages thanks to this open-air representation.Bravo to Clémence, its expression, its kindness, its smile. Happy continuation!
I had no idea what it was but I was really won over. Guide F was really fascinating. We were supposed to be 4 people unfortunately the other people (1 family) got wet by day. As I was passing through, Guide F favoured a private tour. What a delight! Guide F is very good at storytelling. I've learned a lot. I really enjoyed it. F you are excellent. Good continuation in your future projects. Cecilia.
The tours organized by Cybèle and her “agents” are incredible! I've done 4 of them and I never get tired of them! What talent on the part of the entire team, what pleasure to walk around Lyon suspended on the lips of the storyteller, what delight to note the historical accuracy of the framework of the narration! In short, I recommend again and again to everyone to visit Lyon in this way: what a joy!
Excellent time, very friendly. We really get into the game, we change eras and we discover a little-known part of the history of Lyon. Suitable for both natives and curious tourists. Well done and thank you to the whole team.
Great visit with a talented storyteller!! Discovery of the Croix Rousse in a new light, great!
Original Of good historical and literary quality Olivier declaims well, in an understandable and perfectly measured theatrical manner attentive to spectators Open to questions Obviously knowledgeable about the subject and more generally from Lyon!
The story is fascinating. The amazing storyteller/actress in her role. We really got into the game. We have lived in Lyon for 35 years and despite everything, she took us to streets that we did not know. We will do it again. Very packed
Led by Agent C through the traboules of the Red Cross, we vibrated to listen to the life of Jirôme, his family and his apprentice Tony, especially on November 21, 1831, the day of the Canut Revolt. We particularly appreciated the gestures and speaking skills of Constable C, who ended her performance with a beautiful singing of the Canuts song. Congratulations to Agent C, congratulations to Cybele!!! We will return for more adventures and to share with friends and family the history and beauty of our city.
Excellent visit that keeps you in suspense until the end. This second experience confirmed my first favorable impression with the naughty visit... It's still very good, very alive, teenagers loved it too. Thank you, Cybele!
Despite the cold and rain Agent C delighted us with his tales. what a treat to listen to him and see otherwise the slopes of the red cross. Do not hesitate to visit. You will be delighted!
We followed the Red Cross story tour with the family and all ages (10, 18 and 19 and parents) loved it! Discover the neighborhood and history by diving into another universe. Don't hesitate!
Interesting and fun visit to understand the life of canus with a very nice storyteller. Good Price quality ratio
A great visit with Chloe as storyteller actress as singer! A timeless moment when the historical side is not forgotten!
A very lively tour of the Croix-Rousse and its history, including that of the Canuts revolt, based on a story carried with talent by the guide-storyteller. Fun and informative experience that we will surely start again in another neighborhood with our grandchildren;
Very interesting visit on the Lyon canuts and captivatingly told by our guide. For all audiences, children and adults, to discover Lyon in an unusual way.
An unusual visit but which teaches us a lot. A visit made for adults and young alike. With a guide who kept us in suspense until the end. I recommend and especially I will come back with my daughter for other visits.
Great visit with an outstanding storyteller, the circuit and its contents delighted us. Nice time travel based on beautiful historical bases
Olivier made us discover this neighborhood with passion, through a story in the History of the Revolt of the Canuts. Visit informative and pleasant. Thanks to him.
Very interesting tour told among the history and courtyards of the working hill. The guide puts a lot of heart and passion into his story
Very pleasant and very interesting visit! Thanks to Olivier who guided us! We followed with interest the adventures of Jirôme the canut of the Red Cross! Beautiful discovery of a neighborhood and its history.
3rd visit with Cybèle and always as much a pleasure to visit Lyon with them:) We really learn a lot about our city, and above all, it's full of humor: this theatrical side is really nice, it sets a different rhythm to the visit. I recommend!
Small group with a professional storyteller we feasted on this visit neither too long nor too short
A visit told with passion and sensitivity. An original way to discover the slopes but also to touch this beautiful and painful history of the Canuts through 2 endearing characters ... Thank you! We can't wait to come back to tell us about old Lyon and other parts of this beautiful city!
Original visit of the Red Cross. Adventure between the alleys of the Plateau de la Croix Rousse. We're having a good time, transported back in time. We go back to the revolt of the canuts and follow the path that a canut made from the weaving of silk at home and the moment of delivery to the silks on the banks of the Rhone. Story told and dramatized.
Very nice even for us who knew La Croix rousse well its history and architecture. We’re going to test other visits, it’s a different light than we’re used to doing.
An original guided tour that allowed us to discover this district of Lyon through a historical story told, with great talent, by an actress who made us travel back in time in the must-see places of La Croix Rousse.... thank you!
A mix between tale and true story. 1h45 visit very pleasant. Surprising discoveries. The guide was very nice.
What a pleasure what an emotion! Laurier is a talented storyteller and guide. 10000 thanks and a great continuation!
Very pleasant moment. We knew the neighborhoods crossed but still made some discoveries but were transported by the story that was told to us.
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, we took part in the Red Cross storytelling tour with our children aged 11 and 7. It was a very good moment, the story that was told to us was exciting and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the history of the Croix-Rousse, Lyon and the Canuts. The walk on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse allowed the children to discover places they did not know and us to rediscover this neighborhood in which we lived children / teenagers. It was a first visit with Cybele and we look forward to another of their unusual visits.
