Monstres cachés et gargouilles

Chimera, dragons, dogs, lions, monsters, bear-cubs, phoenix and griffins…
They are all there, jaws wide-open, claws extended, above the heads of passers-by.
You just have to raise your eyes and let yourself be carried away by the legends and stories they conjure up…

On a walk that brushes past the elegant church of Saint George, which sounds out the darkest corners of Saint John’s cathedral, which is on friendly terms with the “traboules of Old Lyon and which finishes up in grand style at Saint-Nizier, come and experience the exoticism and dreams of men living in the Middle Ages.

A visit initiated by Nicolas Lebreton, guide and author of the novel “Le Maître des Gargouilles” – The Master of the Gargoyles.

Binoculars are available for your visit.
