Résumé

Découverte d'un quartier de Lyon à travers son histoire et son patrimoine culturel, architectural et religieux.

Quatrième de couverture

If the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, located between the plateau and the district of the "Terreaux" were always part of Lyon, the plateau of the Croix-Rousse, was for long a simple village, behind the ramparts of Lyon, and incorporated to its neighbor only in 1852. The structure of the Croix-Rousse is a heritage of history. The history of Canuts with their golden and silver hands lives there... The hill with its plateau and slopes, nation of the silk workers in the 19th century, was its epicenter. It has kept beautiful traces of that period, mainly architectural. To welcome the buildings the silk industry needed, the former religious lands of the slopes of the Croix-Rousse had to be divided into plots. On the top of the hill, there are wide panoramic views, the slopes shelter odd places, and the district at the bottom ofthe hill is laid around the "Place des Terreaux", center of the city's political life. Pull the silk thread... To discover the town in another way, the visit ofthe hill ofthe Croix-Rousse has to be done, in several days, and as many tours, and in ail weathers. .
