If you like a vibrant village district where history is still kept alive, this is your district.
If you like lively neighbourhoods with a village atmosphere, La Croix-Rousse is the place to be. This neighbourhood is known for its activity: people enjoy working here. You can tell immediately at the daily neighbourhood market, the Marché de la Croix-Rousse, which largely contributes to the ambiance. This is traditionally the neighbourhood of silk weavers, where they worked on their creations. You can learn all about that history at Maison des Canuts. You can also see unusual murals in this district, such as Mur des Canuts and Association Mur 69; the latter is renewed every year. Don't forget to visit the Jardin du Gros Caillou, a top-view park.
