Is it the mists which once rolled in from the « brotteaux » (marshes) and the two rivers ? Or is it the nickname of « Myrelingues la Brumeuse, » which evokes a strange, fantastic city ?

Lyon has always been thought of as a secret, mysterious place. To discover or rediscover it, listen to the story of its secret history : its legendary birth on the hill of the god Lug, at the confluence of two rivers ; the tragedies of the Army of Shadows ; the Lady in White who haunted Croix-Rousse Hill ; the men of Lyon with strange powers, whose influence spread well beyond the city ; the labyrinth of traboules and the enigmatic subterranean galleries. When you put down this book, you will never again see Lyon in the same way.
