★★★★★2 years agoVisiting Traboule et Cour des Voraces was a captivating experience. Hidden away in Lyon, this architectural gem left me in awe. The spectacular design features a historic six-story staircase used by silk workers in the 19th century. Its unique, hidden nature adds to the charm, making it feel like a secret passage through history. The intricate stonework and historical significance make it a fascinating spot to explore and appreciate Lyon's architectural heritage.
