Visits and discovery tours
Last updated date : 14/11/2024
At the foot of the Tour Rose, in the heart of the old Lyon, from May to November, we open the doors of our educational mini-farm of silkworms. Discovery of the Bombyx of the mulberry tree: caterpillars, pupas, cocoons and moths. Free entrance.
From May to November, depending on the mulberry season (availability of mulberry leaves at the Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon mulberry plantation), you can see yourself the natural and living process of making this wonderful yarn that is the silk thread.
Beggining with June our mini-farm includes the complete cycle of the silkworm from the hatching of the caterpillars until the spinning of the cocoon and the emergence of the butterfly, passing through the 5 ages of the silkworm.
Free visit during the opening hours of the shop.
Donation of Bombyx eggs on request for educational breeding at home or in school.
