Maison La Rivette, Historical residence from the 18th century in Caluire-et-Cuire, France.

The mansion features nine bays across two floors with a central projection topped by a triangular pediment and a large western entrance platform.

Built around 1740 on the site of a country house documented from 1635, the property developed into a pleasure residence during the mid-18th century.

The gardens contained sophisticated architectural elements including a water fountain, a cascade, and a rock grotto extending to the Saône river.

The historical monument protection since 1987 covers the garden, portal, chapel, facades, and roofs of this private property at 17 montée des Forts.

The independent chapel located south of the main courtyard contains the burial site of Charles Merlino, a former owner of the estate.
