Traboules & Croix-Rousse in Lyon — FAQ

What are the traboules in Lyon?
Traboules are hidden covered passageways winding through buildings and courtyards in Vieux Lyon and the Croix-Rousse, historically used by silk workers to transport cloth — a unique, atmospheric feature of the city.
Can you visit the traboules?
Yes — many traboules are open to the public during the day; a guided tour is the best way to find the most beautiful hidden ones, as many entrances are unmarked.
What is the Croix-Rousse?
The Croix-Rousse is Lyon’s hilltop former silk-weaving district, known for its canut (silk-worker) heritage, traboules, steep streets, markets and a lively, bohemian atmosphere.
