Palais de la Bourse de Lyon — Attraction in Lyon

Not open to the public!!

Well, if you book ahead, you can plan your industries next convention, plan your wedding, or even have an open wine convention!

This is among the best places in France for any event that's under 1000 people.

Pricing depends on what rooms you use ranging from 1500-5000k. The real savings come from not having to pay the Paris tax. Your guests will find accommodations and everything they need for a fraction of th price but the full French experience.

This beauty of a building (in and out) functions both as a public convention center : job and university fairs, industry fairs (medical devices, even book swaps! Adult cartoon collectors, etc. Mostly aimed at attracting public interest.)

Their industry tradeshows attract higher end products and services: (i.e traditional local restaurateurs, whiskey, energy, jewelers, fancy concerts etc.)

TedxLyon has expanded greatly since the first Ted talks back in 1984. Tech companies are drawn to the unique space; Google Enterprise and the Euro-centric DINO are both annual attendees (2020 excluded).

I've been in this building twice in my 8 years in France: both times, the building itself was more interesting and fascinating than the events themselves.

Not to denigrate the events! I'm just being real, this place is stunning and has been maintained to perfection.

"Renaissance Revival architecture" from the 19th century brought the amazing sculpted walls, gold and stained glass ceilings, marble etc.

For the fixed rate mentioned above, your event goers will be in the halls that 16th century aristocrats or new world merchants made deals.

This place being a stock exchange is crazy: there's more precious metals and stones decorating the place than many banks actually have on hand!

This was built right before the industrial revolution really began to beat the "profits above everything/anyone" mantra into everyone businessman skull.

A stunning piece of art no matter where you look without the staggering death tolls of the 17th century: if you get the chance, highly...

The Palais de la Bourse, also known as the Palais du Commerce, is one of Lyon’s most elegant 19th-century landmarks. Located on Rue de la République, right in the heart of the Presqu’île, this grand building was originally constructed to house Lyon’s Chamber of Commerce and reflects the city’s rich history of trade, silk, and finance.

Its architecture is a beautiful example of Second Empire style, with a stately façade, arched windows, and finely detailed stonework that hint at the city’s prosperous past. Inside—when open for events or guided tours—you’ll find impressive halls, including the spectacular Salle de la Corbeille, with high ceilings, chandeliers, and ornate décor that speaks to the ambition and elegance of...

One of the most visually stunning buildings in Lyon and befits what I consider "typical" of stock exchange buildings and banks buildings in Europe especially France. This is a breathtaking example of Renaissance Revival architecture. It's currently the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Lyon. But also use for public events for hire. I haven't been inside but still admire its spectacular façades from the outside. It's easily recognisable if you are around Place des Cordeliers or even around Place de la Bourse and Place de la République. Absolutely worth A look. And if you are lucky enough to see inside, I believe it's even...
