A country house turned place of memory
The Maison de Lorette is also known as the Maison Bréda and the House of Pauline Jaricot. It is a country house from the early 16th century, located in Lyon's 5th arrondissement. Whichever name is used, it is the same place, and knowing these names helps you find it in guides and on maps.
Protected heritage
The house is protected as a listed historic monument (monument historique inscrit). This protection reflects the building's heritage value as a witness to the time when this area still looked towards the fields. For anyone who loves old stones and local history, it is a discreet but precious landmark.
Who it is for and in what spirit
This is not a large museum with spectacular collections, but a place to discover with curiosity, preferably outside the busiest tourist hours. It suits a walk in the 5th arrondissement, on the Fourvière side, where it is easy to string together several heritage sites in a day.
