'Traboules' are Lyon's narrow passageways that connect the densely packed streets of its Croix Rousse district. Originally, they were built as short cuts to allow the area's silk workers to move quickly around the area, without getting their bolts of cloth wet. Today, they lend a real air of mystery as visitors seek to discover where all those secret steps and alleys lead. Whilst some are only accessible to residents, many remain open to the general public. More of the city's traboules can be found in the Vieux Lyon district.
