Flash visit of the Edouard Herriot hospital
Discover the design and a century of history of the Edouard Herriot hospital through a flash tour. For a longer visit, visit the hospital with the audio guide designed by the Lyon Civil Hospices Museum (izi.travel app). The Hospices Civils de Lyon owe Tony Garnier the Edouard Herriot hospital. Built from 1913 to 1933 and largely listed as a Historic Monument, it is today one of the oldest hospitals in the HCL and one of the largest hospitals in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Tony Garnier imagined, for this state-of-the-art hospital, a residential structure that gives a large place to vegetation and whose organization has been adapted over the decades to hospital needs. Today, the Edouard Herriot hospital has excellent services in almost all medical and surgical specialties, enjoys an international reputation thanks to the realization of medical firsts, and was the subject of a major modernization in 2018."
