Crédit Lyonnais headquarters, Historic bank headquarters in 2nd arrondissement, France
The Crédit Lyonnais building occupies an entire block between Boulevard des Italiens, Rue de Gramont, Rue du Quatre-Septembre, and Rue de Choiseul in Paris.
William Bouwens van der Boijen designed the initial structure in 1876, followed by expansions from André-Félix Narjoux in 1905 and Victor Laloux until 1912.
The building features a double spiral staircase inspired by Château de Chambord, with separate flights for management and employees to maintain social hierarchy.
The complex contains modern office spaces after reconstruction following the 1996 fire, with the historic section named Hotel des Italiens and remaining sections called Centorial.
The structure incorporates a metal frame partially produced by Gustave Eiffel's workshops, hidden behind stone cladding that characterizes its exterior appearance.
