À propos du lieu

Architect Louis-Pierre Baltard designed this neoclassical courthouse with its prominent colonnade overlooking the riverbank.

Architect Louis-Pierre Baltard designed this neoclassical monument historique on Quai Romain Rolland along the right bank of the Saône. It stands where earlier municipal justice halls operated in prior centuries, earning fame for its grand exterior colonnade. The structure preserves judicial architecture while maintaining public institutional functions along the riverfront.

Commercial and lower civil courts relocated across town to La Part-Dieu, but the Cour d'appel of Lyon and Cour d'assises of the Rhône remain permanently based here. A comprehensive overhaul modernized internal security protocols and accessibility systems, ensuring the active appellate courts function smoothly within heritage halls.
