Halle Tony Garnier

This guide to the Halle Tony Garnier in Lyon starts with the hall's original job: a pillar-free steel-and-glass livestock market and slaughterhouse that architect Tony Garnier designed for mayor Edouard Herriot in 1908. It follows the hall through a wartime seizure to make weapons, decades of butchery on its floor, and the abattoir's move out of the city in 1967 that left the building empty. Stand under the same open roof that once sheltered four thousand cattle from the rain, with not a single interior beam in sight.
