Lyon

The Lyon culinary scene isn't just about bouchons, oh no! You can explore Les Halles Paul Bocuse, meet local artisans, take part in a cooking workshop, or follow a tour dedicated to local specialties. At Meet People, we offer, among other things, a pastry tour of Lyon guided by Anna, a local Lyonnaise always on the lookout for new spots. Between tastings, traditions, and anecdotes, each stop tells a little piece of the city's story.

Start with Old Lyon and Fourvière, then head over to the Presqu’île or the slopes of Croix-Rousse. To add a more personal touch to your day, make sure to set aside time for a gourmet, creative, or cultural activity.

The Parc de la Tête d’Or is the most famous, with its lake, large lawns, botanical garden, and zoo. For something more intimate, the Jardin des Chartreux offers a beautiful view of the Saône and the rooftops of Old Lyon.

For a family outing in Lyon, you can also enjoy Gerland Park, Blandan Park, or the banks of the Rhône. These spaces are perfect for taking a break, having a picnic, or letting the kids burn off some energy between cultural discoveries.

A unique activity in Lyon doesn't necessarily have to be a spectacular concept. It becomes special thanks to the personality of the person hosting it, their way of sharing, and the interactions that emerge during the experience. For example, you can take part in a workshop with an artisan, go on a night tour, explore the traboules from an unexpected angle, set off on a cruise on the Saône, or discover Lyonnais specialties during a gourmet walk. A scavenger hunt or an escape game in Lyon can also be a great way to experience the city differently: discovering Lyon as a couple, with family, or with friends! 

For a first visit, a tour of Old Lyon allows you to explore its Renaissance alleyways and famous traboules. Croix-Rousse reveals the history of the silk weavers, while the Presqu'île brings together several iconic monuments and squares.

You can also choose a themed tour led by someone who shares their own perspective on the city. MeetPeople brings together local experiences led by enthusiasts, to discover Lyon through stories that traditional guides don't always tell.

A culinary workshop, a city challenge, an artistic activity, or a heritage tour: Lyon offers many formats for bringing a team together outside the office. The right choice depends primarily on the group's personality and the space the activity allows for each individual. MeetPeople helps you build an original team building event centered on a human experience tailored to your employees. It’s a great way to create collective momentum without forcing the same old activity that half the team was already dreading before they even arrived.
