Attic of abundance, Granary in 1st arrondissement, Lyon, France.

The Grenier d'Abondance is a long rectangular building of pale yellow stone with a red-brown pitched roof on the left bank of the Saône, at 6 quai Saint-Vincent. Its central section projects slightly and rises to a triangular pediment, faced in darker rusticated stone with tall arched openings across two levels, smaller rectangular windows above and a round window in the pediment. The flanking wings have rows of rectangular windows three storeys high above ground-level doorways.

The Grenier d'Abondance was built in 1728 to the design of Claude Bertaud de la Vaure on the left bank of the Saône, at 6 quai Saint-Vincent. Part of it was rented to grain merchants, while another part served as a fencing hall and later as an arsenal. Around 1775 wheat storage was abandoned and the building became an artillery store, arsenal and barracks until 1987.

The name "grenier d'abondance" refers to the public grain reserves kept to ward off famine; Lyon's warehouse was built in 1728 at 6 Quai Saint-Vincent on the left bank of the Saône, almost opposite the Kœnig Bridge. Part of it was rented to grain merchants, while another part served as a fencing hall and later an arsenal. Since 1993 it has housed the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the dance department of the National Conservatory of Music and Dance of Lyon.
