After a rest, we set out to find the Traboules and facades in Vieux-Lyon. Tricky to find these traboules are narrow, 'secret' passageways in between houses. We went through the doors and found several of them. Very interesting to see - used as shortcuts, to avoid the rain and for the silk merchants.
