Origin and history

The house located at 110 quai Pierre-Scize in Lyon is an emblematic 16th century building. Classified as a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its protected architectural elements, including the loggias and the staircase on courtyard, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1954. These features reflect the architectural style of the Lyon Renaissance, a period of economic and cultural prosperity for the city.

Lyon, in the 16th century, was a major business and intellectual hub in Europe. The houses of that time, often built by merchants or notables, illustrated their social status through ornamental details and innovative structures. This type of building was part of urban life, serving both as a residence and as a place of exchange.

The location of this house, on the banks of Saône, underscores its link with river activity, essential to the Lyon economy of the time. Although the available sources do not specify its exact use, its listing as Historic Monuments demonstrates its heritage importance. The location data remain approximate, with an accuracy assessed as fair according to the criteria of the Merimée database.
