About this video
A 71-minute walk across Lyon from one hill to the other, recorded in August 2026. It starts at Place de la Croix-Rousse, goes down Rue des Pierres Plantées and the long Montée de la Grande-Côte to Place des Capucins and Place des Terreaux, and continues through Place de la Comédie and along Rue de la République to Place de la Bourse and Place des Cordeliers. It then takes the old lanes of Rue Tupin, Rue Ferrandière and Rue Mercière to Place des Jacobins, crosses the Saône into Vieux Lyon by Rue Saint-Jean and Place Saint-Jean, and rides the funicular up to Fourvière, ending at the basilica and its esplanade.
