Our child loved the story that was created by Cybèle and a few weeks later is still singing songs associated with the visit.

Once again, Chloe, Agent C, proved to be exciting and very talented; Old Lyon has almost no secrets for us.
My 2 grandchildren aged 10 and 12 were passionate; I will take my 2 other grandchildren from their next stay in Lyon.
All 4 had loved the visit to the Croix-Rousse following in Jirôme’s footsteps
