These photographs of the old neighborhoods of Lyon cover a period of 40 years and reveal a city of secrets which has long been overlooked.

The photos were first published in 1933 on a catalogue - Aspects of Lyon which constituted probably one of the most remarkable and most poetic visions of the great city on the Rhone. Since the dispersation of their of funds in 1962, their oeuvre is not well known. Théo Blanc and Antoine Demilly describe, after 40 years,the quais of the Saone, the points along the Rhone, the hills of St. Jean and Bellecour, the universe vaporizes and boils in this city.
