Venez découvrir ce lieu et son architecture tout à fait exceptionnelle du
XVIIIe - Le Grenier d’abondance a été construit entre 1722 et 1728 par l’architecte Claude Bertaud de la Vaure pour conserver le blé nécessaire à l’alimentation annuelle des cent vingt mille lyonnais de l’époque.
Après l’édit instituant la libre circulation des grains (1763), le bâtiment est affecté à des usages militaires : magasin d’artillerie, arsenal puis caserne jusqu’en 1987. Depuis 1993, ce sont les services de la Direction régionale des affaires culturelles Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes ainsi que les studios de danse du Conservatoire national supérieur qui y sont installés.

À propos du lieu

Le Grenier d'Abondance (DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes-CNSMD)

6, quai St-Vincent 69001 Lyon

Métropole de Lyon
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

The XVIIIth century Located in the northwest of Lyons, on the Left Bank of the Saône, the Attic of abundance was built between 1722 and 1728 by the architect Claude Bertaud de la Vaure to keep(preserve) the wheat necessary for the annual food(supply) of some one hundred and twenty thousand inhabitants of Lyon of time(period). After the edict instituting the free circulation of grains(beads) (1763), the building(ship) is fast allocated to military uses(practices): store of artillery, arsenal then barracks until 1987\. The departure of the National Gendarmerie allows then to the Ministry of Culture to program the installation of the Regional Cultural Affairs Directorate of Rhône-Alpes there as well as the studios of dance of the Higher National Conservatory for Music and Dance installed(settled) as for him, since 1988, in the veterinary former school located just opposite. The Attic of abundance presents a completely exceptional architecture: on three stacked(superimposed) levels, three rows of vaults of fish bones(edges) falling again on two series of stony pillars and two rows of pilasters committed(hired) in the lapels(backhands) of facades. In the centre of this rectangular building(ship) in imposing dimensions(size) (130 m of length, 18 m of open sea), a salient forepart, provided with a triangular front wall(pediment) in moderation decorated, introduced in a big(great) staircase in four pits(cores) giving access to floors. To do up in this peculiar building premises(places) adapted to its new missions, the Ministry of Culture appealed to the architects Valode and Pistre and partners; the proposed party allows to leave undamaged the structure of origin and to include the modern elements into a concern(marigold) of sobriety and of authenticity.
