La Loge du Change C'est ici le royaume des banquiers et des marchands européens convergeant depuis le XIVe siècle vers le Foires de Lyon. Au XVIe siècle, ils prirent tant d'importance qu'on songea à leur construire une «loge» spéciale. bâtie seulement en 1630. Elle fut transformée en 1748 par Soufflot qui lui donna sa forme actuelle avec ses cinq arcades, alors ouvertes. Depuis 1803. le bâtiment abrite un temple protestant.
