Clos des Deux-Amants, Historical monument in 9th arrondissement, Lyon, France
The Clos des Deux-Amants stands along the Saône River at the foot of Fourvière hill, featuring a square courtyard with five integrated sections.
The site originated as a Franciscan monastery established in 1492 by Charles VIII, with Queen Anne of Bretagne attending the foundation stone ceremony in 1493.
The building now houses the National Conservatory of Music and Dance of Lyon, transforming from its previous role as the National Veterinary School.
Located at 3 Quai Chauveau, the monument maintains its educational function since 1988 while preserving architectural elements from different historical periods.
The name derives from a Roman tomb discovered nearby, bearing an inscription with the words Amandus and Amantissimae, which was demolished in 1707.
