In 1792 during the French Revolution, the half-relief of Louis XIV on horseback, in the middle of the facade was removed and replaced only during the Restoration by Henry IV of France, in the same posture.
Following a fire in 1674, the building was restored and modified, including its facade, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and his pupil Robert de Cotte.Your use of the word 'Renaissance' threw me for a loop-I've always thought of the Hotel as a Second Empire structure-the elaborate decorations, the mansard roofs, the opulence. In the 17th century, Lyon was developed and the Presqu'île became the city center with the place of Terreaux, and the Lyon City Hall was built between 16 by Simon Maupin. Telephone numbers 01 42 76 54 04 or 01 42 76 50 49.As part of the Presqu'île district, the building was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List alongside other districts in the centre of Lyon, bearing testimony to Lyon's long history as an important European city. Built in the late 17th century, the building has been classified as a Monument historique since 12 July 1886. The Hôtel de Ville de Lyon is the city hall of the City of Lyon and one of the largest historic buildings in the city, located between the Place des Terreaux and the Place de la Comédie, in front of the Opera Nouvel.
