What it is Filled
A traboule is a covered passageway running through buildings and courtyards to link one street to another, characteristic of the French city of Lyon and also found in nearby towns such as Villefranche-sur-Saone, dating from the fourth century and used historically by residents and silk workers to move goods sheltered from the weather; many traboules are on private property but some are open to the public by agreement, and they are heritage features and tourist attractions, so visitors should respect residents and posted access rules.
