A total stranger would never guess what is hidden behind old Lyon's wooden doors...
One of the famous 'traboules' could lead you to a charming little courtyard, or an ancient-looking stone staircases, or reveal some curious architecture details :-)

Even people from Lyon don't always know the marvels that lie behind those old wooden doors... And even those who do know can't boast that they know all traboules. That's what's so nice with it : there's always something to discover, some new hidden passage, some forgotten wells, some stairs leading to a beautiful view. And it's even better when you share this experience with someone who's a total stranger to the city (:)) Discovering new aspects to what you feel familiar with, and sharing the thrill of it with someone who you feel can appreciate this as much as you do : is there anything more fulfilling ?
