Centre Berthelot, Educational complex in 7th arrondissement of Lyon, France
The Centre Berthelot consists of multiple buildings with a central courtyard, featuring two main structures connected by a covered walkway at 14 Avenue Berthelot.
Built in 1888 as a military health school, the complex served as Gestapo headquarters during 1943-1944 before becoming an educational center after World War II.
The Center houses the Resistance and Deportation History Center, Sciences Po Lyon, and the Institute of Human Sciences, contributing to Lyon's academic landscape.
The facility maintains regular operating hours from Monday through Saturday, with access available through two gated entrances along Avenue Berthelot.
The central courtyard was renamed Esplanade General Pierre Robert de Saint Vincent in 2017, while the former weapons room became Lucie and Raymond Aubrac amphitheater.
