Then head over to the Restaurant Baie des Singes for some fresh fish and local wine. Top your day off with by roaming in the public beach and watch the sunset from the lovely sandy shores.
2. Get Lost in the Secret Passageways of Croix-Rousse, Lyon
In the middle ages, silk merchants in Lyon had to find a way to transport the silk without it getting wet. Thus, the idea of secret underground passages came to be. These passages have withstood time and history, and while they are now privately owned, some are still open to the public.
The passages, known as Traboules, are located in Vieux Lyon and help connect the different streets in the city. Discover these secret tunnels and walk through the history of the silk merchants….just be sure to remain quiet since there are inhabitants in the buildings.

Over time other OneSimCard SIMs started catching up by offering more competitive data rates of their own. Although the Data and Roam SIM card still offers solid savings on global data, its advantages are now more apparent in mostly exotic and remote destinations in the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East and Oceania. To reflect these changes and make it easier for our customers to select the right SIM card, we have decided to change the name of the OneSimCard Data & Roam to OneSimCard Expedition.
What’s new?
New name, same great features. The Expedition SIM will continue to offer all of the features of the Data and Roam SIM including Personal Extra Numbers, Discount Plans, Voicemail and 24/7 Customer Support.
What is going to happen to my existing Data & Roam SIM card?
All existing Data and Roam SIM Cards will continue to work as usual. To check the current rates and coverage for your Data & Roam SIM card, simply select OneSimCard Expedition as your SIM Type on the Rates and Coverage page.
