Frequently asked questions
Does the walk include a viewpoint over Lyon?
Yes. The route takes in the Fourvière Viewpoint and the metallic tower of Fourvière before finishing back at the basilica forecourt. The quest is tagged as best during the day, so plan to go in daylight for the views across the city.
What will we see on Fourvière Hill?
Stops include the Maison de Guignol Theater, Lyon's oldest houses, the Gargoyle House, André Malraux Park, the Ancient Theater of Fourvière, the Gier Aqueduct, Loyasse Cemetery, Lyon's former ski resort, the Quatre Vents Footbridge and the basilica, with stories about Lyon's Roman and religious past.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
You start at the Fourvière Basilica's forecourt and the loop brings you back there. The route is 3.4 km and takes a little over an hour, though time spent at viewpoints and on puzzles can stretch that.
Is it good for kids?
It is tagged as a recommended activity for families. It suits children who can manage a 3.4 km walk on a hill and enjoy spotting clues in buildings and monuments. Note that one stop is Loyasse Cemetery.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No booking slot is needed. You start whenever you like from your phone, with no guide or group to meet, and you can pause and continue later. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated.
What does the Fourvière Hill quest explore?
The route uses Fourvière’s peaceful parks, viewpoints, basilica and ancient theatre as its setting. It combines those real places with a self-guided clue trail rather than a guided group tour.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue, with no guide or fixed start time. You can begin when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
