Traboule and Moirages Courtyard

3 bis Petite rue des Feuillants / 5 place Croix-Pâquet

You enter through a monumental porch. This traboule crosses a small courtyard with cat's head paving stones and the moiré courtyard. 

The Cour des Moirages, also called Cour des Feuillants, takes its name from an ancient activity linked to the moiré of fabrics, a process invented by an Englishman named Badger in the 18th century. By crushing the fabric between cylinders, he created a color-changing effect, giving a "moiré" appearance to silk fabrics. This place, formerly dedicated to this activity until 1840, still retains a unique atmosphere today, at the crossroads of the working and religious history of Lyon, with the former Feuillants convent which was established there in 1619.
