More information on Conservatoire superieur de musique

The oldest veterinary school (established in 1762), was transferred to this former 17th century convent in the early 19th century when, after the French Revolution, the St Elisabeth nuns were sent elsewhere. The architect Chabrol was given the task of adapting the convent to its new function - in keeping with the original surroundings, interior gardens were laid around the various halls and a great entrance was erected giving on to the main court. From 1985 to 1988 all the buildings were restructured to house Lyons's new Academy of Music (Conservatoire National Supérieur de Lyon). One auditorium was added and some buildings restored showing some of the original murals. The façade of this Conservatoire stands out along the banks of the Saône as does the Hôtel Dieu along the Rhône.
