''This zone is served by the metro line '' La Croix-Rousse is a hill (254m) in the town of Lyon, France, as well as the name of a neighborhood located on this hill. The neighborhood is divided into les pentes (slopes, belonging to the city's 1st arrondissement) and le plateau (atop the hill, part of the 4th arrondissement). The name "La Croix-Rousse" (The red cross) comes from a reddish-brown stone cross erected there in the 16th century. The neighborhood physionomy is heavily marked by the central role that Lyon used to play in silk industry. It now become a pricier neighborhood with a vibrant cultural scene. La Croix-Rousse has always possessed a unique atmosphere compared to the reste of the city. As an illustration, some inhabitants call themselves "Croix-roussiens" (Croix-Roussians). In Lyon, La Croix-Rousse is nicknamed ''la colline qui travaille'' (the hill that works) in contrast to the better-known hill to the southwest, Fourvière, which is known as ''la colline qui prie'' (the hill that prays). The district started developing in the 18th century when the silk workshops moved here from the Vieux Lyons area. The ''canuts'' (silk workers) were subject to extremely poor working conditions. On account of these conditions, they staged many worker uprisings, known as the Canut revolts. The first revolt, in October 1831 is considered to be one of the very first worker uprisings. The area was immortalised in Paul-Jacques Bonzon's book series ''Les Six Compagnons'', which depicts the adventures of seven young working class teenagers from the area. == See also == * Canut (silkworkers) * Canut revolts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Croix-Rousse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
