Highlights

Step back in time and immerse yourself in Lyon's rich silk-making history, which dates back to the Renaissance when the city became the capital of French silk, supported by the Kings of France.


On this tour, your expert guide will take you through historic silk workshops, where you’ll discover the traditional techniques passed down through generations. You’ll even have the chance to watch a live weaving demonstration, bringing the craft to life right before your eyes. As you walk through the iconic Croix-Rousse district, home to the Canuts—Lyon’s 19th-century weavers who fought for better working conditions—you’ll feel the pulse of history.


Your journey will end with a visit to a silk painting workshop, where you’ll see how Lyonnais artists create vibrant designs on silk using time-honored techniques. This tour will leave you with a deeper appreciation for Lyon’s iconic silk heritage and the artistry that continues to shape the city today.
