Baroque church of the former Chartreuse du Lys Saint-Esprit, with an octagonal dome, a marble baldachin and a polychrome marble altar designed by Soufflot.
The Croix-Rousse is the hill north of the Presqu'île where Lyon's canuts wove silk in tall workshops with high ceilings. The slopes above place des Terreaux and the plateau around the boulevard now hold markets, theatres and a neighbourhood that still feels separate from the centre.
Croix-Rousse has 14 places on the Roam Lyon map: 5 landmarks, 2 museums, 2 parks and gardens, 2 markets, 2 special spots and 1 church or cathedral. Read the Croix-Rousse guide.
