Follow in the footsteps of the great men who marked the history of the Resistance in France!
Follow the voice of a passionate and professional guide from your smartphone. Stories are triggered automatically where they happened.
At the end of 1942, Lyon became the Capital of the Resistance. The Terreaux district and the slopes of the Croix Rousse will serve as a hiding place for the heroes of the Resistance, and for all those who played a role in the underground struggle. After having walked the corridors, stairs, courtyards and traboules, you will understand why this city was so suitable.
Leave your smartphone in your pocket! Your guide tells you these stories that automatically trigger along your route, right where they happened. It also shows you the directions to follow, in addition to a map that geolocates you.
