I can't say enough good things about Frank, the owner of Holland Bike Tours. It was pouring rain with thunder and lightning the day of our tour and we asked to reschedule the next day in the morning. He was more than accommodating! The next day was beautiful and our bike ride was awesome!! Michel thank you for a wonderful tour of Lyon on bicycles!!

15 minutesGrand Hotel Dieu
This impressive landmark was built in 1184 and served as a hospital for more than 800 years! Now a 5-star hotel and shopping center, these walls hold many stories of historical accounts and legends.
17 minutesLa Croix-Rousse
La Croix-Rousse and its slopes are qualified as UNESCO heritage sites. La Croix-Rousse is the former working-class district of Lyon which housed the Canuts (or Lyon silk workers).
17 minutesFresque des Lyonnais
This fresque completed in 1995 represents 2000 years of history featuring 25 historical and 6 contemporary figures from Lyon. Some of the most notable depictions are the Lumiere Brothers, Antoine de St-Exupéry and the Little Prince, and Paul Bocuse.
15 minutesPlace des Terreaux
The most beautiful square in all of Lyon is home to the City Hall, Museum of Fine Arts, and the breathtaking Bartholdi Fountain. It serves as the perfect place to take photos, learn some interesting history and legends, and also take a pause and have a drink.
17 minutesLe Palais de Justice
The Palais de Justice and its passerelle are a pairing of two iconic landmarks to the city. From the passerelle visitors can see far and wide along the Soane river at the very heart of the city.
15 minutesCathedrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon
Sitting in the heart of the old town, this cathedral is an impressive structure. Built over three centuries starting in 1175 it has a mix of Gothic and Romanesque styles and features a 16th century astronomical clock.
17 minutesPlace Bellecour
As the largest pedestrian square in Europe, Place Bellecour is surrounded by history, new and old. Here you can see the newly-renovated statue of King Louis the XIV, The Institute of Paul Bocuse, and a memorial to Antoine de St-Exupéry.
15 minutesLa Confluence
Finally, we’ll end our journey at La Confluence. The uniqueness of Lyon’s geography is demonstrated by the two waterways that the heart of the city is built between; at the confluence the two waters become one. This also gives a perfect view of the deconstructivist architecture of the area and the museum that sits there.
