Traveler reviews
Loo Yeo
★★★★★2 months agoThe Last Family Workshop. In this Croix-Rousse atelier, silk comes back into view at household scale. The looms stood beside the kitchen, with the soupente above, so weaving, meals and sleep shared the same 65 square metres. This was the Ressicaud family’s place, where thread passed through skilled hands in a room shaped by production and daily life together. The handloom makes the crossing of warp and weft easy to follow; the mechanical loom brings back the speed and racket that once filled these slopes. That closeness changes the story of Lyon silk. Fine fabric left rooms like this, where a chef d’atelier carried the loom, the costs and the pressure of the tariff. Croix-Rousse still holds that history in one surviving interior, dense with labour, skill and family life.

★★★★★3 years agoReally interesting. Three looms for weaving silk and cotton, together with the domestic setting of a worker. The presenter helpfully spoke some English which made the visit much more enjoyable
