In Lyon, visit the Textile Museum and become immersed in 2,000 years of textile history. Then discover how the Soierie Vivante association preserves the city’s last two 19th-century textile facilities: the municipal trimming workshop and the municipal weaving workshop. In Avignon, the art of fabric printing in southern France is highlighted at the Souleiado Museum and the Olivades factory and outlet shop, where artisans build on generations of craftsmanship to produce goods for today.
