Origin and history

The building located at 15 Place Bellecour and 2 rue de la Barre in Lyon is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its location, in the heart of the Lyon Presqu ́île, makes it a notable architectural element of this emblematic district, marked by its Haussmannian town planning and its open squares. The facades and roofs overlooking the square and the street were protected by decree of 7 March 1941, testifying to their heritage value in the Lyon landscape.

Bellecour Square, one of Europe's largest pedestrian squares, has always been a central place in Lyon life, mixing commerce, meetings and public events. The buildings that border it, like this one, reflect the architectural and social evolutions of the city, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. Their preservation keeps the memory of urban transformations and Lyon lifestyles throughout the eras.
