Garage Citroën, Historic automotive garage in 7th arrondissement, Lyon, France
Garage Citroën is a five-story concrete building in Lyon's 7th arrondissement designed with Art Deco elements throughout. The structure includes vehicle service areas on the ground floor and additional functional spaces on the upper levels.
The building was constructed between 1930 and 1932 under architect Maurice-Jacques Ravazé, who led Citroën's architectural department at the time. It was listed as a historic monument in 1992 and stands as significant evidence of industrial architecture from that era.
The building is named after one of France's most renowned automobile manufacturers and represents Lyon's turn toward modern industry. Visitors can still see the refined design of the entrance area with its distinctive details today.
The building is easily visible from outside and accessible to reach, with the original character of the facade well preserved. Visitors should note that certain areas of the building may not be open to the public.
At its opening, this facility was the world's largest service station, able to handle one thousand vehicles at once. This capacity was remarkable for the time and made the building a center of automobile culture.
