Amazing mural

This is a very interesting mural - actually, the latest of several. They've been updated over time, and there's a display of the previous versions. The artist actually aged the people in the earlier versions.

Worth going out of the way to see

There didn't seem to be much else to see in this neighbourhood besides this, but glad we made the walk up the hill to see this remarkable piece of art. The scale is incredible and we sat on a bench in front of it for...More

So realistic

You really have to look close to see what's real and what's painted in this neighborhood. The major mural is the most interesting. Each person in the mural is from Lyon and many of these people are known worldwide. The technique is fascinating.

Unique and startlingly realistic

The mini tram stopped for photos. From a block away you would not know that this wasn't the "real thing." Definitely worth a visit

EVER CHANGING TO REFLECT THE TIMES

Le Mur Des Canuts is an amazing trompe l'oeil, which covers a surface of 1,200m², it is hard to believe it is a flat surface, it is so life like. My husband wasn’t looking properly and approached the ATM to get money out. There is...More

Great street art

Very good street art. Especially good is reading the history of the art across the years. Amazingly realistic and detailed. Worth the long walk. The rest of the area is uninteresting.
