Embark on the Lyon Audio Tour: Hidden Artistry & Stories of the 4th Arrondissement
A city once scarred by silk workers’ revolts still whispers rebellion in the cracks of ancient stones and winding lanes.
Take a self-guided audio tour through Lyon’s 4th arrondissement, unraveling overlooked stories that even lifelong locals often miss. Hidden courtyards, eclectic gardens, and solemn chapels conceal truths stranger than fiction.
Who risked everything within the walls of Croix-Rousse Hospital during secret uprisings? What shrouded histories linger behind the weathered façade of the Church of Saint-Denis-de-la-Croix-Rousse? Could the mosaic labyrinth of Jardin Rosa Mir be a coded message left by a forgotten artisan?
Move deeper into Lyon’s heart and uncover echoes of lost revolutions, clandestine intrigue, and artful defiance around every corner. Each step brings you closer to understanding how ordinary streets hold extraordinary secrets.
Let the past pull you in—start your exploration now and listen as Lyon begins to confide its hidden stories.
