Entre fleuve et mer. Une histoire médiévale

Medieval river trade, Rhône salt commerce and the spread of disease feature alongside boat-patterned silk and art inspired by waterways.

About this event


Entre fleuve et mer follows water through medieval trade, river cities and daily life. Salt commerce on the Rhône provides a regional example, while Lyon’s Musée des Tissus lends boat-patterned silk and a lion-shaped vessel used for washing hands. A further section examines disease, including the spread of plague in Rhône-side cities, alongside art inspired by waterways.
