More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step out onto cobbled lanes where shutters are painted like punctuation and the Saône slips past, daring you to look up. A private photographer meets you at the agreed door and leads a short walking loop through Vieux Lyon’s Renaissance façades, across riverbanks framed by stone bridges, and—on longer packages—up to Fourvière for a sweeping city vantage.

Book golden hour for soft light
Schedule your session at sunrise or an hour before sunset to avoid harsh shadows and capture warm tones on the stone façades.
Expect cobbles — wear grip soles
Vieux Lyon’s streets are historic and uneven; stable, comfortable shoes reduce the chance of slips and make moving between shots easier.
Bring a spare outfit or accessory
A quick change (scarf, jacket, hat) multiplies looks without adding miles of walking or time.
Keep devices charged
Photographers deliver high-quality digital files but you may want immediate social content; bring a phone power bank.
