A moving historical visit to Lyon

5.00An exciting and very moving visit on the Revolution in Lyon. We discover the little-known episode in which “Lyon is no longer” and the threat of destruction of the city — I had no idea that André-Marie Ampère had experienced these events! The actor is great and makes it all very alive and embodied. An outstanding experience that I highly recommend.
