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. Traditionally the neighbourhood of silk weavers, this is where they worked on their creations. You can learn all about that history at La Maison des Canuts. This quarter also has special murals: Les Murs des Canuts and Association Mur 69, the latter getting a new look every year. Don't forget to visit Le jardin de Gros Caillou, a top-view park.
