Guided tours of the Araire Exhibition House

Presentation

The Association offers guided tours on a variety of themes, by reservation only. Two permanent exhibitions are open to the public: the Roman aqueducts of Lyon and the weaving of silk velvet. New temporary exhibitions are also featured each year!

Either:
- Guided tour of one or more exhibitions of your choice (1 to 2 hours) in the building.
In 2026 and 2027, it will be possible to visit the temporary exhibitions on the themes of Seeds and Antique Toys.

But we can delve deeper into the topic of aqueducts with:
- Guided tour of the exhibition on the Roman aqueducts of Lyon and one or more sites of the Roman aqueduct of the Gier of your choice (half day or full day)
- Discover the exhibition on the Roman aqueducts of Lyon and enjoy a guided hike on the Roman trail of the Yzeron (approximately 3.5 hours)
