The Slope

The Tour

One of the most unique neighbourhood of Lyon with such a unique soul

Obviously the place has a friendly vibe, like a village within the city with its squares where people play Lyonnais bocce, its fun fair or its famous street food market. But also its cafés-théâtres, murals or landmarks such as the statue of Jacquard of the Gros Caillou

All around there is a specific architecture born of the silk looms and also many surprises : a Roman amphitheatre, an abandoned church, monumental staircases...

This tour from uphill goes down the worldwide famous passageways called traboules, used by both silkworkers and Resistance fighters
