Association Soierie vivante
Soierie Vivante, it’s two workshops in the heart of the Croix-Rousse: a municipal workshop of lace-making and a weaving workshop, both distant of 800 meters.
This association safeguards the last two weavers workshops/Canuts homes belonging to the city of Lyon.
A guided tour and a demonstration of the powered looms takes place throughout the year from Tuesday to Saturday: at 2pm and 4pm for the lace-making workshop and at 3pm and 5pm for the weaving workshop. A beautiful way to discover the history of the Croix-Rousse and the life of the silk weavers.
