The Opéra Nouvel (Nouvel Opera House) in Lyon, is the home of the Opéra National de Lyon. The original opera house was re-designed by the distinguished French architect, Jean Nouvel between 1985 and 1993.

The city decided to build an opera house in 1985, within the shell of the existing 1831 building. The style of the house is essentially Italian with a horseshoe-shaped auditorium and tiers of boxes. Leaving only the existing foyer and the exterior façade, Nouvel tripled the space within the house by excavating below ground to create rehearsal space and, most strikingly, by doubling the height of the building by creating a steel and glass barrel vault which hid the fly tower as well as providing space for the ballet company.

Lyon (Liyon in Franco-Provençal or traditionally spelled Lyons in English) is the third-largest city of France. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Rhône and Saône, to the northwest of the French Alps and 243 miles (391 kilometers) southeast of Paris.

The City of Lyon has a population of roughly 522,000 in the 2020s within its small municipal territory of 19 square miles (48 square kilometers), but together with its suburbs and exurbs the Lyon metropolitan area has a population of 2,293,180, the second most populated in France. Lyon is the prefecture of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and seat of the Departmental Council of Rhône (whose jurisdiction, however, no longer extends over the Metropolis of Lyon since 2015).

The city is recognized for its cuisine and gastronomy, as well as historical and architectural landmarks. As such, the districts of Old Lyon, the Fourvière hill, the Presqu'île and the slopes of the Croix-Rousse are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as the "Historic Site of Lyon."

The Palais de justice historique de Lyon is a building located on the Quai Romain Rolland, on the right bank of the Saône, in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon. In 1996, it was classified as a monument historique.

Its construction began in 1835 and ended in 1845, under the direction of architect Louis-Pierre Baltard. It was built in the same location as the previous courthouses that had been there since the 15th century. The Palais de Justice de Lyon is nicknamed the 'Palace of the twenty-four columns.' It is regarded as one of the finest Neo-classical buildings in France.

In 1995, construction of a new courthouse in the district of La Part-Dieu allowed the transfer of the Tribunal de Grande Instance, the Tribunal d'Instance and the Tribunal de commerce de Lyon. The Cour d'appel of Lyon and the Cour d'assises of the Rhône remained installed in what is now the historic courthouse of Lyon. In 2008, the building was the subject of a comprehensive renovation (including accessibility, upgrading and security).

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 1645 and 1651 by Simon Maupin. Following a fire in 1674, the building was restored and modified, including its façade, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and his pupil Robert de Cotte. In 1792 during the French Revolution, the half-relief of Louis XIV on horseback, in the middle of the façade was removed and replaced only during the Restoration by Henry IV of France, in the same posture.

The Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) is the seat of municipal government for the city of Lyon, and one of the largest historic buildings in the city. It is located between the Place des Terreaux and the Place de la Comédie, in front of the Opéra Nouvel. Built in the late 17th century, the building has been classified as a monument historique since July 1886. As part of the Presqu'île district, the building was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List alongside other districts in the center of Lyon, bearing testimony to Lyon's long history as an important European city.

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 1645 and 1651 by Simon Maupin. Following a fire in 1674, the building was restored and modified, including its façade, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and his pupil Robert de Cotte. In 1792 during the French Revolution, the half-relief of Louis XIV on horseback, in the middle of the façade was removed and replaced only during the Restoration by Henry IV of France, in the same posture.
