History

The Hôtel de Ville

The earliest traces of life in Bron can be found in the cemetery and date from 71 BC. The town as it is today did not take shape until approximately 1812.

In mid-August 1944, prisoners from Montluc prison were taken to Bron Airfield where 109 of them, including 72 Jews, were killed in the Bron massacres [fr], which would become known as Le Charnier de Bron ("The Charnel house of Bron").[7]

The Hôtel de Ville was completed in 1958.[8]

Bron was spared much of the damage caused by the riots in many of France's suburbs in the 1990s, such as in Vénissieux and Villeurbanne.

Administration

The municipal council is composed of 43 members elected for a six-year term. The mayor are elected by the councilors.

Sights

The Fort de Bron, erected between 1872 and 1876, is part of the second belt of fortifications around Lyon.
