What you'll see
The steep hill north of the centre, climbed by stairways and passages between tall, plain buildings with huge windows, then a village-like plateau with a long morning market along the boulevard and views from the top of the slopes.
A brief history
The tall windows let in light for the big silk looms of the canuts, the silk workers whose uprisings in the 1830s were among the first workers' revolts of the industrial age.
