Architecture and Heritage of the Rhône, Couvent de La Tourette (Le Corbusier), Château de la Chaize
9:30 a.m. : Departure from Lyon
Couvent Sainte-Marie de la Tourette (Le Corbusier)
10:30 a.m. - 12:00 a.m. : Guided tour
12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. : lunch on-site (single menu)
The Sainte-Marie de la Tourette Convent is currently home to a Dominican community of about ten people within a building designed by Le Corbusier and Yannis Xenakis. Built in 1956, this concrete structure is one of the architect’s most iconic works. The convent is conceived according to the three primary functions of monastic life: living, studying, and praying within simple and purified geometric volumes typical of the brutalist movement. Light plays a central role here thanks to ingenious transparency techniques with glass, openings towards the surrounding park, and other architectural perspectives. Nowadays, the place is shared between monastic life and openness to the public, who come to appreciate its architecture and contemporary art exhibitions presented throughout the year
Château de la Chaize
3:15 p.m. - 5:45 p.m. : Guided tour and wine tasting
After lunch at the convent, a visit of the château de la Chaize offers an interesting example of the restoration of a historical monument from the 17 century. This vineyard estate was established in 1676 according to plans by Jules-Hardouin Mansart and André Le Nôtre, architects of Louis XIV. The building is in a classical 17th-century style, characterized by harmony and symmetry. The French garden offers a characteristic example of this period, the entirety of which has been classified as Historical Monuments since 1972.
Today, after being in the hands of François de La Chaize d’Aix's descendants for 350 years, the Gruy family has been overseeing the estate since 2017. Developing the vineyard activity towards organic and ecoresponsible production, the castle will offer the opportunity for congress participants to taste wines on-site. The restoration project will be presented by Didier Repellin, Inspector General of Historical Monuments and Chief Architect of Historical Monuments (honorary).

The journey begins with the exploration of the Museum of Art and Industry and the city of Saint-Etienne. This museum focuses its collections on three emblematic objects that illustrate the city’s history: weapons, textiles, and bicycles. This eclectic mix combines art and industry, the beautiful and the useful, form and function, coexisting within an innovative museography, housed in its 19th-century building. From military design to a ribbon collection, the world's first collection tracing the history of technological advancements in fashion, the museum aims to portray the material history and industrial creation through its regional heritage.
12:45 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. : Free lunch in Saint-Etienne
Le Corbusier site - Firminy-Vert
3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. : Guided tour
The lunch break offers an opportunity to explore the city center of Saint- Etienne. The tour continues to the neighboring town of Firminy and the discovery of the Firminy-Vert neighborhood designed by Le Corbusier in the mid-1950s. In response to the exponential increase in the number of inhabitants and the unsanitary conditions of the city, the then-mayor Eugène Claudius-Petit proposed the idea of building a new neighborhood. This was to challenge the reputation of a place polluted by factory smoke, with the city being nicknamed “Firminy la Noire.” The birth of Firminy-Vert offered a new conception of urbanism, giving way to large green spaces and light. The atypical architecture of its housing unit and stadium is based on concrete work and the brutalist aesthetic reaches its peak with the recently completed conical-shaped church.
6:30 p.m. : Return to Lyon
Bresse Heritage
9:00 a.m. : Departure from Lyon
Royal Monastery of Brou
10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. : Guided tour
Built between 1506 and 1532, the Royal Monastery of Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse is a Gothic-style building with a unique history. Upon the death of her husband Philibert Le Beau three years after their union, Margaret of Austria had a monastery erected in the form of a mausoleum, housing the couple’s sumptuous tombs. The intricate carving work present throughout the architecture and the colorful lozenges typical of local roofing make it a unique place whose excellent state of preservation restores its original charm. The monastery was occupied by Augustinian monks until 1906, gradually losing its religious functions after the separation of Church and State. The main building now houses the municipal museum, which preserves collections ranging from medieval objects to decorative arts and contemporary pieces. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit the temporary exhibition Nicolas Boulard, la galerie des pains.
12:45 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. : Free lunch in Bourg en Bresse
Château de Fléchères

splendor of these constructions symbolizing their influence. One such figure is Jean Sèves, a Calvinist who became one of the wealthiest men in the region, serving as regent of the Hospice de la Charité in Lyon and municipal magistrate after escaping the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. At the height of its grandeur, the castle was a means to assert his power and nobility. The place bears the traces of a troubled era, with its Calvinist temple located on the third floor, and the entirety of its frescoes painted by the Italian artist Pietro Ricchi.

10:30 a.m. - 12:00 a.m. : Guided tour

Its uniqueness lies in the characteristic eclectic style of the 19th century, drawing from Greco-Latin, neo- Gothic, and even Byzantine forms. The region's glasswork specialty is evident in the intricately detailed stained-glass windows, showcasing particular craftsmanship. The organ, built in 1865 by Joseph Merklin's workshops in Paris, has been classified as a Historical Monument since 1986.
12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. : Group lunch at the Brasserie du Fleuve in Givors (free menu - lunch not included in the excursion‘s fee)

Built between 1974 and 1981, this housing complex is located in a unique place, the Saint Gérald hill. This natural location became one of the architect's concerns, fueling his desire to balance housing and nature. The Cité des Étoiles embodies a renewal in urban planning at the time, in agreement with the municipality of the city, led by the communist mayor Camille Vallin. The place is an example of political will aiming to improve the daily lives of residents through adapted and innovative architecture.

The main attraction of this place is its artificial grotto, unique in France, and its chapel composed of marble and gilded stucco, adorned with eleven Italian paintings by Girolamo Siciolante. This sumptuous setting inspired Honoré d’Urfé’s novel L’Astrée. In the 19 century, the castle was left abandoned. Its classification as a Historical Monument in 1912 and subsequent significant restoration campaigns have allowed it to regain some of its former splendor.

Trained at the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and in various glass workshops in Quebec and the Czech Republic, this artist aims to rehabilitate glass as a material for contemporary art. Through his practice, the artist plays with transparency and opacity, light refracting through the glass, and the apparent fragility of this material, which he will demonstrate during a guided workshop tour. His works redefine craftsmanship and are exhibited worldwide, from New York to Beirut to Moscow.

After the couple's death, the place was bequeathed to the Artists’ Foundation, which ensures two main missions: the recognition and dissemination of Albert Gleizes’ work, and the support of contemporary artists welcomed in the Moly-Sabata workshops.

In 1879, at the age of 43, he stumbled upon a strange stone during his rounds as a postman in his village, and came up with the idea of a monument building. According to legend, the postman Cheval spent thirty-three years of his life building his Ideal Palace. Inspired by nature and the postcards passing through his hands, the palace was built with the stones he collected daily. Completed in 1912, this extraordinary palace followed no architectural rules or artistic movements. André Malraux initiated its Monument Historic classification in 1969 under the title of “naive art.” The palace’s legacy is ensured by the imagination it nurtures, that of surrealists like Max Ernst and his painting Facteur Cheval (1932).

The Villas Tony Garnier trail in Saint-Rambert
Visit 21.
Address: meet in front of Tony Garnier's villa, at the corner of Quai Paul-Sédaillan and rue de la Mignonne, Lyon, 69009.
Capacity: 15 people
Guided tour: Wednesday 26 June, 9am-12.30pm, by Pierre Gras, Honorary Professor at the École nationale d'architecture de Lyon.
Between 1910 and 1920, Tony Garnier built three villas on the Saint-Rambert site, on the banks of the Saône. The first was for himself, the second for his wife and the third for a private client, Antoinette Bachelard. These three buildings are among the pioneers of the Modern Movement, offering a different perspective on its beginnings. Their construction and decoration are particularly interesting for their materiality. The first two are artists' homes, and are sensitive and seminal testimonies to the movement. The owners of these villas have agreed to welcome a limited number of visitors. Their visit is an exceptional opportunity.
