130 years of history of a Lyon silk house through its collaborations with the highfashion and artists.

Grand Hotel Dieu - 18 quai Jules Courmont 69002 Lyon 2nd
Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Since 1890, there have been 4 generations, "9 Brochier" and several hundred thousand meters of woven and printed silk for the biggest names in haute couture. Discover the dresses of Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Lacroix, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent and the creations of the great masters such as Miró, Calder and Cocteau as so many testimonies of the strong links that unite the artists to the Brochier family. Discover as well how the taste for innovation has made it possible to adapt the Jacquard loom for the creation of technical fabrics for the Concorde, the Radeau des cîmes, the test balloons of Venus and how the silk thread is now woven with the fiber optics for the production of the fabrics of tomorrow. The Soieries Brochier Museum stands out as the essential starting point for a visit to Lyon that links heritage and history.
