Vieux Lyon has a set of "hidden\ passage ways (Traboules) which link streets together to form quick paths to the river. (Also used in WW-II by resistance fighters).
While trying to find the entrance to our first traboule, which uses the front door of a buliding - via the courtyard, a nice french man came along and gave us a guide tour of the first 3 of these passageways.
The map found online that we were attempting to follow - great if you know how to open the various doors.
This is a bust of Henry IV tucked away inside one of the traboules.
