Origin and history

The building located at 28 Place Bellecour in Lyon is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Although its exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources, its inscription by decree of 7 March 1941 specifically concerns its facade and roof, highlighting their heritage value. These architectural elements, protected under the cadastral reference 02 AP 22, bear witness to a characteristic style of the early twentieth century, when Lyon experienced a marked urban and architectural boom.

Place Bellecour, the historic and geographical heart of Lyon, has always been a central place for the social and economic life of the city. The surrounding buildings, like this one, reflect the evolution of architectural styles and the importance attached to the beautification of the city over the centuries. The inscription of this building under the title of Historic Monuments is part of a desire to preserve the heritage of Lyon, especially in an emblematic district such as the 1st arrondissement.

The approximate location given by GPS coordinates (27 Place Bellecour) suggests a possible confusion or evolution in the numbering of addresses, frequent in old city centres.
