Experience a one-of-a-kind event in the heart of Lyon!
The complex consists of 6 pavilions connected by stone arcades, designed to manage different groups of prisoners in separate ways.
Baltard envisioned the prison as a place of redemption and moral reconstruction, which is why it had both the appearance of a convent and a hospital. In fact, the care of prisoners was provided by nuns.
In 2009, the prison, becoming unsanitary and overcrowded, was relocated to Corbas and restructured between 2012 and 2015.
From 2017 to 2019, after over two years of renovation work on the Chapel, La SOURCE finally opened its doors.
