Amazing! So creative! Look so real! We took a bus and walk to get here and witness for our self one if the most creative murals Lyon is famous for! I added my spin on it.. can you find it???!
Pretty cool mural / optical illusion with the history of the different changes and updates that have been made to it over the years.
These are spectacular but there are no clear directions in guidebooks how to find it. We wasted a lot of time walking in circles.
It's the largest mural in Europe. Nearby are some information boards about the mural, how it came about & the two updates (1997 & 2013) since the original. The info is in French and English.
This is a must do and I would encourage the walk up to see small pieces of wall art along the way from the lower part of the city. Art installations like these being so much vibrancy to the area. Also if your in need of a caffeine boost after walking burning cat cafe in the area is a great place.
Very impressive mural, and incredibly well detailed. The characters in the mural look very real and the activities they do are relevant to the current day. The murals are redone every decade or so in order to reflect the current architecture styles, and themes of the day. For example, the walls done recently have a theme of sustainability (as seen by the wall gardens, which look very real by the way). Will definitely recommend a visit if you are around
Murs de Canuts in Lyon is seriously mind-blowing! This place has this massive fresco showcasing rebellious silk workers from way back in the 1800s. It's like stepping into history with a splash of art!
I was left in total awe. If you dig Lyon's past and love cool art stuff, you gotta check it out.

This mural is amazing! 10 ish stories tall, on the side of a flat building. Looks 3D! We had to go up to the building to see if it was actually flat. Metro line C gets you within 1/2 a block.
