What You Will Do

This theatrical visit to the slopes of the Croix-Rousse takes you through the most obscure and mysterious legends of Lyon: Dame blanche, buried treasures, forbidden underground passages, ghosts and initiation rites. Your guide-actress (not costumed) will tell you ancestral legends, stories that have been told since the dawn of time. This visit takes you on a journey through the entire history of Croix-Rousse: from antiquity to the 19th century, the great era of canuts and the silk factory which shone around the world, through the traboules and unknown alleys. Enter the circle of initiates! This route does not include any underground visit.
