La Croix-Rousse

This guide to La Croix-Rousse in Lyon starts with a weaver slipping through a hidden passage to escape troops climbing the hill in November 1831, when the silk-working canuts marched under a banner reading live working or die fighting after merchants tore up a promised fair wage. It follows how those same hidden corridors, called traboules, were used a century later by resistance fighters dodging German patrols. Listen for how many still lace the neighborhood today, and where to find one you can walk through yourself.
