Origin and history

The building located at 9 Lassagne Pier and 17 rue Royale, in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, is an emblematic building of the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. It is distinguished by its representative civil architecture of this period, with facades and roofs on dock, street and courtyard, as well as an inner courtyard and two protected interior staircases. These elements led to its registration as a Historic Monument by order of 12 October 1990, emphasizing its heritage value.

The building is associated with Toussaint-Noël Rent, the contractor identified in the available sources. Its precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), is documented via the official address and GPS coordinates. The legal protections specifically concern the external parts (facades, roofs) and interiors (slippers), reflecting a desire to preserve the original architectural features.

The building is part of the 18th-century Lyon urban context, an era marked by the economic and architectural expansion of the city. The buildings of this period, often intended for a rising bourgeoisie, combined functionality and aesthetics, with interior courtyards and monumental stairs. Although the sources do not specify its initial use, its conservation reflects the importance attached to Lyon's civil heritage.
