Origin and history

The building located at 31 Place Bellecour, in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its protection specifically concerns the facade and roof, formalized by a decree dated 7 March 1941. This building is part of the emblematic landscape of Place Bellecour, the historic and geographical heart of the city, although architectural details or its precise history are not documented in the available sources.

Place Bellecour, where this building stands, has been a central place in Lyon for centuries. In modern times, buildings bordering this square often reflected the economic and social prestige of the city, which was then marked by silk, commerce and an influential bourgeoisie. The protected facades, like that of this building, bear witness to the importance attached to the preservation of the Lyon urban environment, especially after the destruction and transformations of the twentieth century.
