407 rue Nationale
69400 Villefranche-sur-Saône
Classified as a Historic Monument, this house is the only one to have a courtyard directly overlooking the Rue Nationale from which you can admire its façade.
A beautiful octagonal spiral staircase leads to a belvedere that overlooks the city as in many other houses. A vaulted passage leads to a second spacious courtyard decorated with medallions. It opens onto a porte cochère that leads to the "back street".
In 1998, the municipality acquired the furniture store that had been located here since the beginning of the 20th century. It occupied the entire first floor, thus obstructing the courtyard of the house. It was demolished leaving the courtyard visible, to the delight of the Caladois who were far from imagining the existence of such a splendor!
