Hotel Dieu (hospital) near Rhone River
Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon is a functioning hospital of historical significance situated on the west bank of the Rhone river, on the "Presque-isle" (the Peninsula between the Saone and Rhone rivers which run through the city center).  In 1454 'Hôtel-Dieu' became a fully functional hospital, one of the most important in France.
