19th-century residential building on the Croix-Rousse hill, next to Place Colbert, known for its large open staircase of several storeys connecting the courtyard with the street. It was home to the canuts, Lyon's silk weavers, and its traboule is one of the most famous in the city. It is an inhabited building, so it is best to visit discreetly.
