Vieux-Lyon, Hôtel de Gadagne,

Housed in the former Gadagne mansion, one of the richest houses in the neighbourhood, the Gadagne museums consist of two adjoining hotels built from 1511 to 1527 which were revamped in 1545 for the Gadagne brothers, of Italian origin. The rooms, which were restored recently, along with a new museography, present the history of Lyon from the Middle-Ages to the twentieth century. Visitors can access 39 showrooms, two workshops, an auditorium, a documentation centre, hanging gardens and shop.
