Silk‑weavers' Lyon, 1835

Lyon in 1835 is a city shaped by silk: the Croix‑Rousse slopes are a forest of tall canut houses and workshop windows, and the two rivers carry raw silk and finished cloth to markets. The walk moves from the city's high terraces and Roman ruins down through Vieux Lyon and the Presqu'île to the canuts' streets and the Rhône quays.

35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Lyon as it stood in 1835 (“Canut revolts”).
