Worthwhile tour
by student of history
This self-guided audio tour was well worth the time and money. The information added to what we already knew about Lyon's importance in World War II, and we appreciated the chance to see where events occurred. (There was only one tiny misstep on the path in park going up to where the tram used to be, when the recording said we missed a stop. We had not missed a step. I think it was just a little tech glitch.)
We would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn more about this time in history and the brave souls who fought to save France.
