Origin and history
The Hotel de Sarron is a building located at 46 rue de la Charité, in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon. It is listed as a historical monument by order of 19 November 1991, and is protected for its gate, courtyard and former garden. This venue hosted the offices of Mathieu Paquet's printing-library, then those of the Lyon Press of the South-East, which printed the daily L'Express of Lyon.
The official address registered at the Mérimée base is 46 rue de la Charité, although some geolocalized sources indicate the 1st arrondissement. The building is representative of Lyon architecture linked to the history of the local press. Its registration specifically covers the old hotel, its portal, as well as the courtyard and garden floors.
No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, etc.). The sources mention only its past use as the headquarters of a major 19th and 20th century printing plant, without specifying the exact dates of this activity. The accuracy of its location is estimated as satisfactory a priori (level 6/10) by Monumentum contributors.
