Henri IV House at 1 montée Saint-Barthélemy

1 Saint-Barthélemy climb

This house, whose current façade bears witness to several centuries of history, was built during the reign of Francis I, who stayed there briefly in 1515. Located within the walls of Rue Juiverie, it retains traces of its prestigious past. However, it was not until the 19th century that a bust of Henry IV was added to its façade, in memory of a night spent by the king in December 1600. This event took place during a tumultuous period marked by an attempted assassination of the king by Father Cherubin, a monk from this neighbouring convent.

Henry IV had already stayed in the nearby hill in 1595, at the home of the governor of Lyon, Mandelot, and Henry III had preceded him in 1582. After this royal era, the house became the Chazeaux monastery, before being partially destroyed and absorbed by the Antiquaille site. Today, this residence stands as a silent witness to these little-known chapters of Lyon's history.
