The Courtyard of the Voracious and its Monumental Staircase

9 place Colbert / 10 montée Saint-Sébastien

The Cour des Voraces, located in the heart of Croix-Rousse, is much more than a simple traboule. As you cross its threshold, you discover an imposing architecture, dominated by its famous monumental six-story staircase. This tangle of steps, both massive and aerial, seems to float above the courtyard, offering a unique feeling of grandeur and vertigo. This place full of history is a strong symbol of the resistance of the Lyon workers, in particular the canuts, the silk weavers, who led several revolts here in the 19th century. As you go down these steps, you feel the vibrant energy of this courtyard, both a witness to the past and an essential passage point on the way up Croix-Rousse.
