5.0 based on 8 reviews
Soierie Vivante invites you to discover Lyon's very last remaining weaving workshops from the 19th century. The association organises guided visits with no booking needed. The "bistanclaque pan" (as it's known in the trade) of the looms makes this noisy visit one you won't be able to forget!

There’s a great deal of history here and it was surprisingly interesting. The first printing presses, the Gutenberg bible, the leaflets that started the Reformation, posters denouncing the clergy during the French Revolution, political posters, Art Nouveau in advertising, etc etc. lots of explanations of printing processes and all in all a fascinating hour. There’s a lovely courtyard in this ancient building and its free if you’ve got your Lyon card and if you haven’t, you should. One word of warning there’s no lift.
