Created in the 19th century, the workshop is of great historical interest because it is the last family weaving workshop of the Croix-Rousse. Its intact interior architecture is representative of that of the tens of thousands of family workshops that occupied the Croix Rousse in the 19th century. The 65 m² of this place of production and life include both a space dedicated to family life, with a kitchen and a sub-slope (mezzanine bedroom, located above the kitchen), and also the workshop, with its looms and an electric canvas. Soierie Vivante organizes weaving demonstrations on a (manual) arm loom of the 19th century and on mechanical (electrical) looms, having worked to make production until 1990. You can also discover the space dedicated to the daily life of canuts.
