During your exploration, you'll discover the rich history of resistance in Lyon through its “traboules” : from meetings of the French Resistance during World War II to the printing of clandestine newspapers, from the first social protests of the “canuts”, the silk workers, to the city's desperate resistance during the French Revolution.
