Traboules - Guided Tour
There's more to parts of Lyon than meets the eye. Beneath the city in Vieux Lyon and Croix Rousse, dark and dingy traboules wind their way through apartment blocks, under streets and into courtyards.

Lycée Viticole
One of about 20 French secondary schools (at least one in each wine-producing region) that trains young people in every aspect of winemaking.

(Decades ago wine used to be served with lunch in the school cafeteria!)

Over the course of a 45-minute guided tour (in English upon request) of the 18th-century cellar, visitors sample at least one white, two reds and Belen, an apéritif. Given the thick cobwebs on the ceiling, you wouldn't want to be in here if gravity reversed itself.
