Charlotte’s guided tour of Lyon’s Hôtel-Dieu: a premium quality walking tour!
Charlotte is an expert guide, teacher, Oxford University graduate and trilingual in French, English and Danish. Having lived in the region for over 10 years, she knows Lyon’s heritage inside out. Playgreen is fortunate to have her as one of our service providers. Her “Lyon Guided tour Hôtel-Dieu” can only be booked on our website.
For 1h45, your guide, as knowledgable as she is friendly and funny, will help you (re)discover the history of the Hôtel-Dieu through the ages. You’ll also learn many anecdotes: the mystery of a boat moored in front of the Hôtel-Dieu, the origin of the crocodile in the apothecary’s shop, or the reasons behind the dismissal of the establishment’s most famous doctor. Finally, your guide will also take you through the picturesque streets and lively squares surrounding this monument, at the heart of the spirit of the City of Lights. You’ll be able to continue this cultural activity with a delicious dinner or café on the terrace.
