Maison du Chamarier, Renaissance mansion in Vieux Lyon, France
This late 15th-century residence features a Gothic spiral staircase, Renaissance wells, and decorated galleries at 37 rue Saint-Jean in Lyon's 5th district.
Built in 1498 on 13th-century foundations, the mansion underwent major modifications when François d'Estaing commissioned its reconstruction between 1496 and 1516.
The term Chamarier derives from camerarius, designating the financial superintendent who managed taxes and held the keys to Lyon Cathedral's canonical gates.
The ground floor houses a pastry shop called La Marquise, while the upper floors remain closed following restoration work initiated in 2004.
The entrance tower displays a Gothic-style canopy with pinnacle turrets, demonstrating the transition between Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements.
