History

The layout of the Rue Lainerie dates back the early Middle Ages and was completed in 1911. There are several possible spellings : Rue de l'Asnerie [2] or Rue Laisnerie, these names do not refer to the trade or craft of wool, but to a stable for asses which was in the street when it was created. During the Renaissance, the street was inhabited by wealthy people: for example, in No. 14 lived in a wealthy family of magistrates, the Palmier, later replaced by Claude de Bourg who modernized the street in 1510. [3] Thus, the architecture of the street offers a mixture of gothism and Renaissance style. In the eighteenth century, the community of Jansenists tailors were at No.5. [4] The school of the street was built in the 19th century. In its northern part, at the junction with the Rue François Vernay, several old houses were razed in 1911, under the mandate of President Édouard Herriot, during development works of the district which included the construction of the Gare de Lyon-Saint-Paul (1874) and the Palais de Bondy, housing the Salle Molière (1904).

Middle Ages Period of European history from the 5th to the 15th century

In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages.

Renaissance European cultural period, 14th to 17th century

The Renaissance was a period in European history, covering the span between the 14th and 17th centuries and marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. The traditional view focuses more on the early modern aspects of the Renaissance and argues that it was a break from the past, but many historians today focus more on its medieval aspects and argue that it was an extension of the Middle Ages.

Traboules

Several of the paths on the street are open to visitors. At No. 4, there is a façade of the sixteenth century, at No. 6, a façade of the fifteenth century, at No. 10, two staircases placed side by side and a gallery (this traboule signed an agreement with the city of Lyon for its opening), at No. 14, the gothic façade of the Mayet de Beauvoir house, built in 1516 [6] decorated with protruding flowers, mullioned windows, arches, medallions, a statue of the Virgin, and at No. 18, a nice staircase [7] and a building with an arched driveway with rib vaults that fall on caps adorned with angels, devils or animals. [8]

Rib vault Important gothic architecture element

A rib vault is an architectural feature used to cover a large interior space in a building, usually the nave of a church or cathedral, in which the surface of the vault is divided into webs by a framework of diagonal arched ribs. It is also called a "ribbed vault." It was a key feature of Gothic architecture. The thin stone ribs of the vault meet in a pointed arch, and carry the thrust of the weight of the roof outward and downwards to pillars on the ground floor, and to heavy flying buttresses outside the walls, rather than to the walls themselves. The use of rib vaults permitted the construction of much higher and thinner walls, and of stained glass windows of enormous size, which flooded the cathedrals with light.

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
