This church was built by Jacques Perrissin, street of Estableries, in the center of Lyon, between the Rhone and the Saone rivers. It was used between 1564 and 1567, date of its destruction. It is rare to see the interior as represented by this preserved illustration. It bears the name of a garden which preexisted, enclosed between the houses bordering the streets of 4 Chapeaux, Tupin and Ferrandière.
