Discovering the Arbresle
From the 16th century onwards, l'Arbresle became a popular stopping-off point for the nobility and middle classes of Lyon, who built mansions and other buildings with architecture typical of the period. Throughout the 19th century, the village, which was still very much a farming village, gradually took on the appearance of a small industrial town specialising in a number of fields, particularly velvet weaving. Development accelerated towards the end of the 19th century with the arrival of the railway.
