Halle Tony Garnier
The Halle Tony Garnier is an arena and concert hall in Lyon, France. It was designed by Tony Garnier in 1905. Originally a slaughterhouse, the building was renovated in 1987 and opened as a concert hall in 1988. With a standing capacity of nearly 17,000, it is the third biggest venue in France after the Accor Arena and Paris La Défense Arena. It will host figure skating and short track speed skating for the 2030 Winter Olympics with the French Alps as the main host.
The original building opened in 1908 as a cattle market and slaughterhouse, known as "La Mouche". During World War I, the building was used as an armory until 1928, when it returned to a cattle market and slaughterhouse. The market and slaughterhouse closed in 1967. On 16 May 1975, the building was recognized as a Monument historique. In 1987, the City of Lyon hired Reichen & Robert and HTVS to renovate the slaughterhouse into a modern concert hall. The Hall opened in late January 1988.
In the 19th century, before the Mouche Slaughterhouse, Lyon had another two slaughterhouses. One opened in 1839 in the Perrache district, and the other was built in 1858 by Tony Desjardins in Vaise. These slaughterhouses were criticized as being too small, inconvenient, and too close to the houses. In the end, the Perrache slaughterhouse were closed for sanitary reasons.
In 1887, the city's elite began to consider the construction of a much larger and more remote site that would meet all the criteria of a modern, hygienic structure. However, the city government was opposed both by the managers of the existing slaughterhouses as well as by the many artisans who benefited from the slaughterhouses in their respective neighborhoods.
In 1892, when the leases expired, the City Council took over the management of the two slaughterhouses and immediately resumed studying how to create a new complex in the Mouche district. However, opposition slowed things down, and it was Mayor Victor Augagneur who got the project moving. He obtained a prefectural decree that definitively established the future slaughterhouse in the Mouche district.
In 1906, Tony Garnier also visited the site under the leadership of new mayor, Édouard Herriot, who had replaced V. Augagneur.
The site of La Colombière, in the Mouche district of Gerland, was selected in 1901 and was the subject of a declaration of public utility in 1903. The area had access to the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée railroad network.
Édouard Herriot, in consultation with Eugène Deruelle, head veterinarian of the municipal services and technical director of the Park of the Golden Head, asked Tony Garnier to draw up the floor plans. In 1905, Deruelle took charge of the city's vaccination and slaughterhouse department.
