Le vieux Lyon : ses traboules et cours Rennaissance
Lyon's traboules are passageways built between two streets through the courtyards of buildings. They were of great service to the population during the 2nd World War and the Canuts revolt. Today, in addition to their usefulness as a means of getting from one street to another, traboules have become a veritable tourist attraction.
