The Traboules

The Traboules (roots from the Latin "trans ambulare, walk through) are corridors or passages that allow you through buildings and down the hills of Croix-Rousse and Fourvière faster. These passageways were used by the" canuts " or silk workers when they were on strike and were chased by police in the 19th century. traboulesp also went down the cargo ships faster down the river, where the boats waited for them. Several pages offer tours of these circuits that are somewhat hidden, unfortunately the pages are in French: Http: / /'https://www.lyon-visite.info/traboules-croix-rousse/' 'https://www.lyontraboules.net/parcours.php' .
