More information on Maison Thomassin

As early as the Middle Ages, Lyon was recognised as a major commercial hub between Flanders and Italy. The town became a centre for cloth craftsmanship and, as of the 15th century, three or four important trade fairs were held at the "place du change". Several families made their fortunes from these fairs and one of them, the Thomassins, had a private mansion built on the "Place du change". This mansion is one of the oldest of its type in Lyon (14th century) but what you see now is a 15th century reconstruction which has been restored. The façade is interesting especially for its delicate sculptures and the arches on the 2nd floor.
