Chapel of St. Clair, Lyon

The Saint-Clair chapel is an extinct Catholic religious building located on the Balme Saint-Clair, on the banks of the Rhône, in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, France. Attested in the 13th century, it was a dependency of the Saint-Pierre abbey. A seclusion was added before disappearing in the early modern era. Used as an almshouse from the 18th century onwards, it was destroyed during the French Revolution. A chapel of the same name was built twenty years later in the commune of Caluire-et-Cuire, thus changing parish. In the 20th century, it was replaced by Saint-Clair church in the same commune. His name spread across the whole of the Lyonnais balme, and later became the name of the Saint-Clair district as well as several of its sites and buildings.
