      I will show you the River Saône and the Palais de Justice de Lyon. I will introduce you to Lyon's history during World War II, when it was a key point for the Resistance.

      I’ll take you through the beautiful squares of this renovated neighborhood, showcasing the new Lyon built in the 19th century for its wealthy residents. We’ll also have a chance to discuss what it’s like to live in Lyon today.

      We’ll conclude the tour at Place Bellecour, one of Lyon’s main squares located in the city center. I’ll reveal some hidden secrets of the square, and we’ll end by visiting the lesser-known statue honoring Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the Lyonnaise author of The Little Prince.
