Chamarier House at 37 rue Saint-Jean

37 rue Saint-Jean

The courtyard of the Maison du Chamarier is a true jewel of Renaissance architecture in Lyon. It features a spiral staircase decorated with flamboyant Gothic motifs, such as shells and cherubs. The well, attributed to Philibert Delorme, is topped with a sculpted lion and caissons decorated with rosettes. The gallery on the first level displays the coat of arms of the d'Estaing family, including a lily and a laurel wreath. The fresco in the humanist cabinet of the west gallery is an Italianate masterpiece, highlighting the refinement of the decor.

The mullioned windows, sculpted vaults and ornamental details bear witness to the refinement of the period. This courtyard, steeped in history, embodies the harmonious blend of medieval tradition and Renaissance innovations, making the Maison du Chamarier an essential place to discover Lyon's heritage.
