What to expect
You'll meet at the departure point and get fitted with a helmet and eBike, then follow your guide on a three-hour loop through Lyon's districts. The route stays relatively flat, letting the electric motor handle gradient. Your guide stops at key points—old quarters, riverside stretches, architectural shifts—and explains their role in the city's story. It's a steady pace with breathing room for photos and questions. Expect a mix of tree-lined paths, some road cycling, and pedestrian zones. The tour runs in both French and English, so communication flows either way.
