Description
Discover Old Lyon through a fun and interactive cultural walking rally. Equipped with a roadbook, your teams explore the historic streets of the Saint-Paul, Saint-Jean, and Saint-Georges districts, answering questions about Lyon’s history, architecture, and traditions by using the clues they find along the way. The experience continues up to Fourvière, accessible by funicular, where participants discover another iconic viewpoint over Lyon.
This Lyon team building activity combines heritage discovery, team spirit, and a friendly atmosphere. An original format for your corporate seminars in Lyon, encouraging participants to observe their surroundings, share their knowledge, and enjoy a unique cultural experience in the city’s most emblematic districts.

FAQ
What level is required to take part ?

This cultural walking rally is accessible to everyone and is based on observation, curiosity, and teamwork rather than sporting performance. Participants explore Old Lyon at their own pace while working together to answer the questions and discover the city’s heritage.
Is the activity supervised by an instructor?
Our team welcomes the participants and provides the briefing before the start of the activity. The rally is then completed independently, allowing participants to enjoy a collaborative and immersive experience. At the end of the course, the teams meet back with the facilitator for a closing session, including the review of answers, the announcement of results, and the prize-giving ceremony.
