Origin and history

The building located at 24bis Place Bellecour in Lyon is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1941. Its protection specifically concerns the facade and roof, remarkable architectural elements of the early twentieth century. This building is part of the emblematic urban landscape of the Lyon Presqu'île, a central area of the city.

Place Bellecour, where this building is located, is one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe. This sector, in the heart of Lyon, has always been a strategic place for trade and trade. The buildings of this period often reflect Lyon's economic and urban development at that time, marked by the industrialization and expansion of the city.

The inscription of this building in 1941 reflects the desire to preserve Lyon's architectural heritage, while France is in the middle of World War II. This protection measure comes in a context where many historic buildings are at risk of damage or destruction. The facade and roof, typical of bourgeois architecture of the time, are thus protected for future generations.
