Soierie Saint-Georges
11 rue Mourguet - 69005 Lyon 5ème
The Croix-Rousse district is the silk district, and lots more as well. Soierie Saint-Georges in the heart of Vieux-Lyon, reminds us that Lyon's silk weaving adventure, which is also at the origin of the city's wealth, began in the 16th century.
In this modern day of synthetic textiles, set out to meet the keen artisans who are still perpetuating Lyon's silk weaving tradition on Jacquard looms. As Ludovic de la Calle, the owner, is fond of saying, "Crossing the threshold of the workshop takes you back several centuries!"
Witness the transformation of silk, from thread to fabric, exchange with an enthusiastic craftsman, and discover collections of accessories made in Lyon in the store. We have everything you need to give a touch of authenticity to all your gifts!

Eléonore is the romantic member of the team! Rumour has it that she knows her classics better than anyone else, and if you want to strike up a conversation with her, just mention Jane Austen, and you'll be away!
