You can easily pass it if you don't know it: Place 9. Push open the door of this Traboule, and you'll arrive at Cour des Voraces: a famous courtyard with an impressive staircase.
In the last century this was a meeting place of a guild of silk weavers, confrerie des voraces.
The group played an important role during the uprisings in 1831 and 1834 in which people protested against the poor working conditions. Now the place is often the backdrop for photo shoots and film recordings.Source: Time Tomomo

The Cour des Voraces is the inner courtyard of a building in Lyon, famous for its monumental six-story facade staircase (outer staircase). It is an impressive traboule that takes you from 9 Place Colbert to the #14 of the Montée Saint-Sébastien or the #29 of the Rue Imbert-Colomès.
