Le Centorial, Historical monument in 2nd arrondissement, France.

The Centorial features a double spiral staircase within its Haussmannian structure, combining a stone facade with an internal metal framework constructed by Eiffel workshops.

Built in 1913 under architect Victor Laloux's direction, the building expanded gradually to occupy an entire block as part of the Credit Lyonnais headquarters complex.

The central pavilion draws influence from the Louvre's Pavillon de l'Horloge, representing a fusion of French banking and architectural traditions.

Following reconstruction in 2001, the building now houses modern office spaces while maintaining its protected historical elements and architectural features.

A decorative lead ornament depicting the city of Lyon stands at the main entrance, measuring 4.30 meters wide and weighing 4 tons.
