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.

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.
