The Lyon-Brotteaux train station ( French Gare de Lyon-Brotteaux ) is a former passenger train station in the Les Brotteaux district in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon . It was placed under monument protection on May 7, 1982 as Monument historique . The protection relates to the facades and roof construction of the central building as well as both side wings and the reception hall as well as their decor.
location
The station is located at kilometer points 5,743 on the Lyon – Genève line and 506,593 on the Collonges-Fontaines – Lyon-Guillotière line at an altitude of 173 meters.
history
In 1858 the Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée built the terminus of the Lyon – Genève railway line . It was opened on June 1, 1859 and connected to the Lyon-Perrache train station in the same year (November 24) .
Since the station was inside the fort of the Fort des Brotteaux , it was originally made of wood so that it could be easily dismantled in the event of a conflict.
The law of August 21, 1884 put the fort of Les Brotteaux out of service. Long negotiations began between the city and the operating company about the construction of a new train station a little further south-west. The lines have been corrected and raised so as to be less disturbing to traffic. Construction began in 1904 and completed in 1908; in the same year the old station was demolished.
In April 1979 the artist Hervé Fischer presented his performance L'avant-garde en gare terminus des Brotteaux in the first-class waiting room of this train station , a critique of the avant-garde exaggeration of art in the 1970s.
When the TGV Sud-Est went into service, the Brotteaux station was replaced by the Lyon-Part-Dieu station, 700 meters further south, on the site of an old freight station of the same name, and closed on June 13, 1983.
The station roof, a large metal structure, was dismantled by the SNCF in 1985.

Since it was shut down as a train station
In 1988, the station was renovated and rebuilt by the architect Yves Heskia and has since been home to business premises for various companies, including (as of 2018) an auction house, restaurants and bars as well as a discotheque. The entrance building contains the original decoration with paintings by various artists depicting the landscapes of the lines once served by the station.
