Origin and history

The building located at the 8 Grand-Rue des Feuillants in Lyon is an emblematic building of the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. This building, typical of the Lyon civil architecture of this period, is distinguished by its street façade and sculpted portal, elements protected by a registration order in 1990. Its wooden vantail, also preserved, bears witness to the craftsmanship of the time.

The location of the building in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon reflects the increasing urbanization of the city in the 18th century. At that time Lyon was a major economic hub, thanks to its silk industry. The buildings of this period often served as residences for wealthy merchants and artisans, while sometimes sheltering shops or shops on the ground floor. This type of building illustrates the social and economic dynamism of the city.

The inscription of the façade and portal in 1990 underscores the heritage value of the building. The identified contractor, DRIVON, although little documented in the source text, is associated with the construction of this building. The protection of architectural elements aims to preserve the stylistic features of the period, including carved decorations and carpentry, which are markers of the Lyon heritage.
