Passage Thiaffait
Ascending slopes and stairs, little by little we will see a magnificent panoramic view of the center of Lyon. Of course, we will stop as many times as necessary to take thousands of photos of its beautiful corners.
Walking through the neighborhood we will enter some traboules, passageways that connect different streets through the patios of the buildings. We will visit Passage Thiaffait, where we will find craft workshops, art galleries and fashion stores. You will love it!
