Maison Brunet, Monumental residential building in Croix-Rousse district, Lyon, France

The massive structure occupies an entire city block bordered by Rue Rivet, Rue Prunelle, Place Rouville, and Rue de Flesselles in Lyon's fourth district.

Built in 1825, the edifice served as a fortress during the silk workers' uprising of 1831, when insurgents used its windows to resist law enforcement.

The building contains 365 windows representing days of the year, four entrances for seasons, and 52 apartments symbolizing weeks, reflecting the mathematical design approach.

Visitors can reach Maison Brunet via bus lines C13 and C18, with the Hôtel de Ville metro station located within a 12-minute walking distance.

Two traboules, typical Lyonnais covered passageways, connect Rue Rivet to Place Rouville through the building's ground floor.

Location: 4th arrondissement of Lyon
