Centre culturel œcuménique Jean-Pierre-Lachaize, Cultural center and music venue in Villeurbanne, France

The Centre culturel œcuménique Jean-Pierre-Lachaize is a cultural center and music venue in Villeurbanne that brings together artists, musicians, and community groups. The facility provides rehearsal studios, performance spaces, and shared work areas where multiple artistic and social organizations operate side by side.

The center was established in 1963 and grew in the following years through support from local companies, allowing it to expand and accommodate more community groups. This early development set the foundation for its role as a gathering place for artistic and social activities.

The name honours Jean Pierre-Lachaize, a director who was involved in the life of the centre and died in 2002; it does not refer to a priest. The founding priest was Father Jean Latreille (1926-2015), who set up a Catholic and Protestant chaplaincy for students of the La Doua campus in 1963. Since 2018 the CCO has occupied L'Autre Soie, on the site of the former IUFM des Brosses, where 23 structures work together under its coordination.

The CCO now operates at La Rayonne on the former IUFM-des-Brosses site, not at its historic rue Georges-Courteline building, which closed in August 2023. The free Mercredis de l'Autre Soie run weekly from 12h to 19h in La Serre, with a flea market, game sessions and artistic workshops. The site is reached from the La Doua campus and the INSA; the vast park and shared workspaces are part of the complex.

In August 2020 the site briefly hosted the filming of Suprêmes (released 2021), a biographical film about the rap group Suprême NTM. The shoot took place just before the occupants had to vacate for construction work on the L'Autre Soie site.
