Abstract
Linnaeus reception in Lyons from 1750 to 1830 During the second half of the XVIIIth century, as many provincial cities in France, several botanical gardens were established in Lyons, mainly at the Ecole royale vétérinaire (1763) and later at the Ecole centrale du Rhône (1795), the first by Claret de la Tourrette (with the help of Rozier), the second by Gilibert. These two botanists, and some other Lyonnese naturalists (as Villers, Jolyclerc and Mouton-Fontenille), were very active in the diffusion of Linnean principles, either by teaching or by reediting or translating Linnaeus works. In 1822, some of their ancient students met together to found the Société Linnéenne de Lyon, aimed at the study of natural sciences.
