Lyon, 1943: the city is occupied and the resistance moves unseen through secret passageways. This self-guided exploration game leads you from the Hôtel de Ville into Vieux Lyon, slipping through Renaissance courtyards and the traboules once used to escape the Gestapo, down to Place Carnot and the Statue of the Republic.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 3.3 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.

Are you ready to escape through the traboules of Lyon?
