Traveler reviews
Remi Gautier
★★★★★5 months agoAbsolute masterclass the guide is very joyful and explain every aspect of the place with passion. Its Very interesting and it explains a corner stone of Lyon city which was built around and for silk. MUST SEE if you are coming to Lyon or even if you live here.
Oliver Happy
★★★★★4 years agoSuper! We did the 2 workshop tour, starting here and ending at Atelier de municipal de tissage down the road. It was an easy stroll between the two. Arrive a little early so you can enjoy the little shop and beautiful, fairly priced creations. The tours were both interesting (with loads of printed detail in English and German, and clearly spoken French). Incredible preservation of a party of Lyonnaise heritage. Bravo!
