France La cour des voraces, Lyon
Situated on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, the Cour des Voraces is a major symbol of Lyon: built in 1840, it is a fine example of folk architecture of the canuts (Lyonnais silk workers), related to the silk industry, which deeply marked the neighborhood.
It is also a place that symbolizes some great moments in the history of Lyon.
A plaque says: "In the Cour des Voraces, hive of silk work, canuts struggled for their lives and their dignity."
