10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Lyon That You Shouldn't Miss
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

6. Maison Brochier Soieries
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 17 reviews
Since 1890 Brochier family has been handing down a tradition born in Lyon in the 16th century : manufacturing exceptional natural silk fabrics and printing artists scarves. Four generations followed one another since the creation of the factory, each of them transmitting to the next one their passion for a work that demands a permanent involvement. The silk printing technique used in our workshop is inspired by the hand screen printing. It is also called "frame printing" or "à la lyonnaise". Today, we combine the traditional techniques with the new generations of high-definition digital printing. For the napped velvet pieces, the velvet is hand painted with painbrushes. You will find here in our shop a unique collection of artists silk scarves and neck ties, Made in France: from Jérôme Bosch and Rembrandt to Picasso and Jeff Koons.

We were on a tour and the shop owner came out and explained all about how silk was made in this city. He was so much fun and let us all look at the silk worms. I wish we had more time here as I wanted to go through the shop and look around. It looked as if they had beautiful items. Such a nice guy to come out and do that for free!

So happy that we stopped by this cheese shop on our walk. The owner was so welcoming and, I'm not kidding, I really do think of his cheese often. He has built relationships with local farms/producers and he has a connection to each item in his display. The identification tags he uses are extremely helpful to customers--raw milk, pasteurized, goat, cow, etc., etc. The most difficult part of our visit was limiting our purchase. A return visit was needed and so we did. Also purchased a fruited honey that was delicious drizzled on hard cheese. This shop is definitely worth a visit.
