Lyon has its traboules, Chambéry has its alleys! They are like corridors which allow you to move between large buildings. The buildings in the historic center have the particularity of being deep and narrow on the facade, a legacy of the “toisé”, this 14th century tax calculated according to the main width of the facades. The narrower they were, the leaner the tax... Hence the structure of the historic heart.

Hiking

Traboules (French, from Latin *transambulare via Vulgar Latin trabulare "to cross") are pedestrian passages that allow passage from one street to another, possibly through courtyards, as tunnels and sometimes over different levels. They are found mainly in Lyon, but also in other French cities such as Villefranche-sur-Saône and Saint-Étienne.
