Maison des Canuts

This is a museum similar to a union, there is a fixed time in the morning with English explanation service, free visit, textile workers' house is also a very unique area, see a lot of textile items and silk artwork oh. [View] The scenery here is very dense [Fun] Very interesting

The Textile Workers' House Museum itself is small, but it contains interesting crafts from Lyon textiles and silks, and there is an English explanation during the morning visit, you can see many ancient textile tools as well as finished products and baskets, and a gift shop selling beautiful silks.

It can be reached on foot, very special, and you can go and see it when you have time. Temporary decision to go, convenient, fast and affordable!

Silk Workers' House, a museum and a workshop, has brought this traditional Lyon industry, the silk industry, to life, and all exhibits from the source of the silk industry to this day. Here we can see the Jacques looms and many of the tools of the silk textile mills: cylinder shafts, weft rolls, and shuttles. There is also a store selling locally produced silk products from the Rona-Alpes region.

One day's work is only enough to buy 500 grams of bread. Their living conditions are very difficult, the residence is narrow and dark, and some are even difficult to avoid the rain. Visit the textile workers' house, see the textile machinery with historical traces, you can feel the workers' lives at that time...
