Notes:
On the subject of the Eugène Napoléon establishment: 'On the occasion of the marriage of Napoleon III to Eugénie in 1853, the city of Paris offered a diamond set to the new empress which she refused, requesting in exchange the foundation of an orphanage for young girls for an amount equivalent to that of the necklace. It was the architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff who was in charge of the site and who was inspired by the shape of the original gift (the necklace) to create the building. The latter was inaugurated on December 28, 1856 by the Empress. He is named Eugène-Napoléon in honor of the prince imperial. '
On the subject of the Long Chesne hospice: 'In 1866, the Empress gave the Château de Long Chêne, with its outbuildings, to the hospices of Lyon, in order to establish a convalescent asylum similar to that of Vincennes. '
About the land of Amotz wood: 'The imperial domain of reintegration horticulture for young condemned girls. An important building named “Xatoa” will be built on the estate. The estate was sold a few years later in 1881 by the Empress and then changed ownership several times. '
