Origin and history

The building located at 13 Lassagne Pier, 25-27 rue Royale and 1 rue Violi in Lyon is a civil building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. It illustrates the Lyon urban architecture of this period, marked by a classic style and harmonious facades. Its protected elements (façades and roofs on dock, streets and courtyard) were inscribed by ministerial decree on 12 October 1990, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of the building in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon reflects the historical importance of this area, close to the banks of the Saône and the economic heart of the city. The building is attributed to Léonard Roux, the contractor identified in the sources, although details of its construction or sponsors are not specified. Today, the building belongs to a private company, which limits public access to its interiors.
