Centre Berthelot, Educational complex in 7th arrondissement of Lyon, France

Centre Berthelot is a complex of buildings at 14 and 16 Avenue Berthelot, built in the 1880s and 1890s for the École du service de santé des armées. The main entrance opens onto a square courtyard planted with trees, framed by three buildings named Percy, Larrey and Desgenettes. The avenue facade, rebuilt after 1944 and completed in 1962, consists of two blocks joined by a peristyle of pale columns.

Construction of the military health school began in 1888 and was completed for the 1894 intake. In 1943 the Gestapo installed itself in the buildings and tortured prisoners in the cellars, among them Jean Moulin. The avenue Berthelot building was destroyed in the 26 May 1944 bombing and rebuilt by 1962; the school left in 1981.

The complex houses the Resistance and Deportation History Center, Sciences Po Lyon, and the Institute of Human Sciences, which together shape the city's academic life. Visitors can observe how these different institutions and their programs function as part of daily activity.

The site is served by the T2 tram at the Centre Berthelot – Sciences Po Lyon stop and by a Vélo'v bike station. The main entrance on Avenue Berthelot opens into a wide vestibule leading to the tree-planted square courtyard, from which the Percy, Larrey and Desgenettes wings are reached. The long building along rue Étienne-Rognon is linked to the Percy wing by an enclosed footbridge nicknamed the "pont des soupirs".

The central courtyard was renamed Esplanade Général-Pierre-Robert-de-Saint-Vincent in 2017. Behind the Desgenettes wing, the former salle d'armes (fencing hall) became a new amphitheatre in 2012, named in 2019 after Lucie and Raymond Aubrac.
