Origin and history

The building located at 10 rue Juiverie, in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon, is a 16th century civil building. It illustrates the residential architecture of the Lyon Renaissance, a period marked by the economic and cultural development of the city, thanks in particular to the silk trade and the influence of Italian bankers. Its facades on street and courtyard, as well as its stairwell and loggias, reflect the aesthetic codes of the era, mixing late Gothic ornaments and Renaissance elements.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 6 August 1954, this building is protected for its architectural characteristics, including the vaulted passage typical of the Lyon traboules. The latter, networks of corridors and stairs through the buildings, were essential to the daily and commercial life of the city, allowing the inhabitants and artisans to travel sheltered from the weather. The location in the Saint-Jean district, the historic heart of Lyon, reinforces its heritage importance.

Available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, point to a location accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10), with an approximate address at 8 rue Juiverie. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental) or contemporary use. The building remains a material testimony of Lyon's urbanization in the Renaissance, when the city affirmed itself as a European crossroads between North and South.
