Description for B&B:
The vacation rental is conveniently situated only 50 meters away from the renowned Place de la Croix Rousse, immersing you in the rich history of this famous neighborhood that was once home to silk workers for more than 150 years.These skilled artisans skillfully wove silk on the Jacquard loom, creating exquisite rolls of cloth that were then transported to Lyon tailors. To shield the precious cargo from rain, the workers traversed the iconic traboules, intricate passageways between buildings.
Christine and Pascal take great pride in extending a warm welcome to you and ensuring your stay is nothing short of delightful. They are readily available to assist you and make your experience in Lyon truly memorable. Have a wonderful time during your stay!
