Whispers of “l’Église du Plateau” echo around this unique structure. Here we stand before the Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier. It’s also known locally as l’Église du Plateau. This architectural marvel, nestled in the heart of Lyon’s La Duchère district, holds a fascinating story. The Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier was designed in the 1960s by the architect François-Régis Cottin. Its modern design stands as a testament to the evolving landscape of Lyon. In 2004, the Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier received recognition for its architectural significance. It was labelled “Patrimoine du XXe siècle”. This label places it among a collection of notable 20th-century structures in La Duchère. This includes the nearby Tour Panoramique. Sadly, the Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier has also faced adversity. In 2006, a deliberate fire damaged the church. Later, rumors spread of another act of vandalism during the 2014 World Cup. Thankfully, these rumors proved to be unfounded. The Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier stands as a symbol of resilience and community spirit.
