Historical walks
The thematic urban walks allow one to get an insight on the "Presqu'île" heritage.
You will discover or rediscover famous, forgotten, or even vanished buildings and places, which shaped the urban centre over the centuries.
You will enjoy anecdotes, romantic or freaky stories.
All this stuff that composes the history of people, that often meets with the capital H History, and sometimes makes it, teaches us a lot upon the life and the way of thinking of our forebears.

From the supremacy of Condate "la Gauloise" to the first working class struggles of the silk Acropolis, including the famous "traboules" slopes.
