Courtyard of the Dugas house at 23 rue Juiverie

23 rue Juiverie

The Maison Dugas, located at 23 rue Juiverie in Lyon, is an emblematic example of Renaissance architecture in the city. Built in 1617 by Jérôme Lentillon, this house is particularly recognizable by its facade decorated with Florentine bossages and decorated with 12 lion heads in relief, hence its nickname "House of Lion Heads".

Its staircase in the inner courtyard is one of the most remarkable elements, reflecting the elegance of the Lyonnais residences of the time. The house is part of a group of buildings that belonged to influential families, notably the Medici, and is located on one of the most prestigious streets in the city, frequented by merchants and traders since the Renaissance.

It is also a place full of legends, one of which suggests that a Jewish treasure was hidden there and discovered by a member of the famous Gadagne family.
