The Institute Lumière promotes and preserves all elements of French filmmaking and honors the contributions of Auguste and Louis Lumière, inventors of the cinématographe. One of the earliest motion pictures produced was actually filmed very close to the Institute. © Steven Hatton | Dreamstime.com
These secret and covered passageways, more commonly known as traboules, date as far back as the fourth century and served as quick walkways between the river Saône and Lyon. These tunnels took on a new function for Canut silk workers in the 19th century as passageways for workers carrying heavy loads from workshops. About 40 are open to the public today and can be visited during guided tours. © Pierre Jean Durieu | Dreamstime.com
