Villa Berliet, Art Nouveau villa in 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, France

The Villa Berliet features a neoclassical architecture with an Italian-style belvedere tower, columns, and friezes spread across 8000 square meters of land.

Architect Paul Bruyas constructed this residence between 1911 and 1912 for industrialist Marius Berliet, who manufactured automobiles and trucks in Lyon.

The interior decoration includes works by Nancy artists Jacques Gruber and Louis Majorelle, incorporating natural motifs like passionflowers in stained glass and fixtures.

Visitors can reach the villa at 39 Avenue Esquirol using bus line 28, metro line D, or tram T2, with guided tours available during European Heritage Days.

The property contains three ornamental pools surrounded by rockwork and aquatic plants, designed by landscape architect Joseph Linossier.
