Origin and history

The building located at 25 Place Bellecour in Lyon is a historic monument whose protection relates specifically to the facade and roof. These architectural elements were inscribed by ministerial decree on 7 March 1941, reflecting their heritage value in the Lyon urban landscape. The official address recorded in the Mérimée base confirms its anchoring in the 1st district of the city, although approximate GPS coordinates also locate it nearby, at 2 rue Victor Hugo in the 2nd district.

The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as poor (note 5/10), which may reflect differences between administrative and cartographic sources. No information is available about its openness to the public, its current vocation (housing, office, business) or its detailed history before its protection. The building is part of Lyon's architectural heritage without any details of its sponsor, architect or original use being mentioned in the sources consulted.

The Creative Commons license associated with the photograph of the monument (credit: Nouill) indicates accessible visual documentation, but text archives remain limited to administrative data. Its ranking among historical monuments underlines the importance of preserving buildings representative of Lyon's urban planning, even when their specific history is poorly documented. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and especially Lyon, has many similar buildings protected for their contribution to the local built heritage.
