Lyon · CROIX-ROUSSE DISTRICT TOURS
6 reviewed
The Croix-Rousse is the hill that worked: tall windows built for silk looms, the Canut weavers who revolted twice, and a market that still runs most mornings. These 6 tours climb it properly, with what each one visits, how steep the walk gets, how long it lasts and what it costs.
Actor-led storytelling in Croix-Rousse: traboules, the 1831 canut revolt, and Lyon silk history, all in 90 minutes in French for $23.
