Vieux-Lyon, Maison de l'Outarde d'Or

Built in 1487, this street level house took its name from the carved stone sign in the form of a fowl merchant which was mounted in 1708 with the motto: “I am worth more than all the game meat”. The sign is of a bustard, a sort of wild fowl. Admire the building’s façade: mullioned windows, the arch over the door, the wrought iron covering the opening above all reflect the construction period. Enter the courtyard and enjoy the galleries, the spiral staircase and the two corbelled turrets.
