Grab a coffee at Paddy's Corner. This is a perfect little pub off the beaten track in the heart of Croix-Rousse, giving you a relaxed start to the afternoon.

Walk 14 minutes NNW to the Mur des Canuts. This painted wall is dedicated to the history and typical architecture of the Croix-Rousse hill, offering a colorful glimpse into the area's silk-weaving past.

Head back down towards the center for ice cream at Nardone. The terrace is pleasant, but be prepared to queue on sunny weekends. The original flavors are worth the wait.
