Philibert Delorme, from Lyons, who was the Royal Architect of Henry II, designed a large number of buildings including the Tuileries palace, the chateaux of Anet, Meudon, Monceaux and Thoiry, and part of the Louvre. In his treatise on architecture, which he wrote while he was in disgrace, he describes, among other things, the gallery supported by squinches which can be seen to this day at 8 rue de la Juiverie in the old part of Lyon.
