    What you'll see and do

    1. Musee Soieries Brochier

      In the heart of Lyon, in the former Grand Inn-Dieu, the Musée des Soieries Brochier traces 130 years of Lyon silk history. This silk museum reveals the adventure of a large family that entered the textile industry in 1890: four generations weaved and printed silks for haute couture and the arts. Admire pieces by Givenchy, Lacroix, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent or Nicolas Fafiotte, made with Brochier fabrics, as well as textile works by Miró, Calder or Cocteau. The route also highlights innovations in the Jacquard business, from aeronautics to luminous textiles incorporating optical fiber. An ideal place to discover the Lyon heritage. The shop offers squares and accessories 100% silk, made in Lyon in Brochier workshops.

    Disappointing 😕

    More like an exhibition than a museum. Only two adjoining rooms with mostly panels to read. Really disappointing when you know the importance and fame of silk in Lyon. Not worth 8 dollars.

    A very good experience in the silk world

    The visit led by guide Justine was very rich and dynamic, and allows us to capture the history of the Brochier family from silk weaving to new technological and textile innovations

    Response from the operator: Merci Stanislas pour votre retour. Au plaisir de vous accueillir dans nos ateliers d'impression situés à 15 mn du Musée!

    Small, engaging silk museum.

    Small, informative museum of one of the most famous silk workshops in Lyon. However, order of info boards unclear. Has worked with various couturiers. Developed gold lamé. Due to the great knowledge of yarns and weaving techniques, highly technologically advanced spin off enterprises have also emerged in recent decades. Shop with beautiful silk shawls. Located in beautifully restored Hotel Dieu, on the Rhône.

    Response from the operator: Bedankt voor uw reactie. We zijn blij dat we u in ons huis hebben mogen verwelkomen. We kijken ernaar uit u te mogen ontvangen in onze drukkerij in het centrum van de stad, naast het stadhuis. Tot ziens!

    Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.

    How much does Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier cost?

    +

    Prices start at $14 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lyon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lyon is not rushed.

    Is Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lyon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lyon and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guided tour of the Museum Soieries Brochier start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lyon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lyon?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lyon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lyon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
