Things to do in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Shopping

August 20, 2021 Etsuko Causey

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

Maison Brochier Soieries

Since 1890 Brochier family has been handing down a tradition born in Lyon in the 16th century : manufacturing exceptional natural silk fabrics and printing artists scarves. Four generations followed one another since the creation of the factory, each of them transmitting to the next one their passion for a work that demands a permanent involvement. The silk printing technique used in our workshop is inspired by the hand screen printing. It is also called "frame printing" or "à la lyonnaise". Today, we combine the traditional techniques with the new generations of high-definition digital printing. For the napped velvet pieces, the velvet is hand painted with painbrushes. You will find here in our shop a unique collection of artists silk scarves and neck ties, Made in France: from Jérôme Bosch and Rembrandt to Picasso and Jeff Koons.

We were on a tour and the shop owner came out and explained all about how silk was made in this city. He was so much fun and let us all look at the silk worms. I wish we had more time here as I wanted to go through the shop and look around. It looked as if they had beautiful items. Such a nice guy to come out and do that for free!

Breathtaking! Sounds. Smells. Colors. Sights. A feast for eyes and palate that sparks culinary creativity. Simply breathtaking for any foodie who love fresh products, exquisite meats, aisles of cheeses, pates, charcuterie, Foie Gras, fish, shellfish, caviar, and more. Restaurants tucked around the wide stalls offer speciality dishes from truffles (one offered foie gras stuffed ravioli with a truffle sauce), to the freshest oysters, with others providing more savory fare, and even casual dining—there are also buy-and-takeaway prepared food options. If you love looking at food, Go! If you love trying new foods, Go! If you love eating and preparing your own foods, Go! If you love just doing photography of food, Go! Oh, Heck! Just Go!
