Little is known about the Maison d’Hôtes du Greillon , except that it dates from the end of the 18th century and has always been a family home. We also know that it was the home of the neo-classical sculptor Joseph Chinard . The house also belonged to Ballet and Galifet well-known liquoristes Lyonnais whose distillery stood quai Pierre Scize; the two properties communicated by an access at the bottom of the garden, balme side. The sloping garden was once planted with vines!
