Colline de Fourvière
Atrium of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière,
built in Neo-Byzantine style between 1872 and 1884 according to plans by
architect Pierre Bossan (Lyon, 23 July 1814 - La Ciotat, 23 July 1888) which,
for health reasons, delegated the final phase of construction to Louis
Sainte-Marie Perrin (Lyon, 31 August 1835 - 20 July 1917). It has undergone
several restorations, the last of which took place between 2006 and 2013.
