Lyon, a city marked by a rich history since antiquity, has experienced significant urban development in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The houses of this time, like the one on Rue Saint-Jean, often reflect the typical civil architecture of the region, with stone facades, sill windows and inner courtyards. These houses were generally occupied by local merchants, artisans or notables, playing a central role in the economic and social life of the city.

The Old Lyon, in particular, concentrates a large number of these buildings, classified or registered, that illustrate the urban and architectural evolution of the city over the centuries.
