Illustrative image

Lyon is shaped by its two rivers, the Rhône and the Saône, and by its silk-weaving past. Old Lyon's traboules, secret passageways linking courtyards, lead through Renaissance streets, while the Croix-Rousse district is known for its murals and hidden gardens. Its large Parc de la Tête d'Or and riverside paths make running and cycling easy.

Choose from 7 self-guided audio tours to walk, run, cycle and explore Lyon, from 1.1 to 7.2 km, taking in Place Carnot (Marché de Noël), Passage de l'Argue & Rue de la Barre, Parc de la Tête d'Or, Porte des Enfants du Rhône, Lac du Parc de la Tête d'Or and Parc de la Tête d'Or.

Each tour is told in your own language, any of 90, with narration and music that play from your phone as you reach each place: no group to keep up with and no fixed start time.

WalkRunCycleExplore

Paris is best known for the Seine, its royal gardens and bridges such as the Pont des Arts and Pont Alexandre III. Quieter corners include the covered Galerie Vivienne and the narrow Rue du Chat qui Pêche in the Latin Quarter. Along the riverbanks, walking, running or cycling brings views of the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.

Bordeaux

7 tours · 2.1 to 10.1 km
WalkRunCycleExplore

Bordeaux's character comes from its 18th-century Place de la Bourse, the reflecting pool beside it, and the Garonne running past. Old gates, the Cathedrale Saint-Andre and quiet courtyards such as Cour Mably tell its medieval story. Car-free riverside paths and the Jardin Public make it a good city to walk, run or cycle.

Marseille

6 tours · 1.6 to 19 km
WalkRunCycleExplore

Marseille is a port city of old stone streets, fishing harbours and sea views. Le Panier, its oldest district, is full of street art, squares and the Vieille Charité, while the Vieux Port and Fort Saint-Jean look out over the Mediterranean. Wide coastal promenades along the Corniche and Plage des Catalans make it a good place for walking, running or cycling.

Nice

6 tours · 1 to 5.9 km
WalkRunCycleExplore

Nice sits on the Baie des Anges, with the Promenade des Anglais running along the sea and the Promenade du Paillon cutting through the city. The old town's colourful facades and the Port Lympia harbour give a lively contrast to the views from Castle Hill. Place Masséna and the Cours Saleya market are good stops, and the seafront path works well for a run or a bike ride.
