Resumen
- English
The faculté des lettres in Lyon was one of the institutions to pioneer the teaching of geography outside Paris. Soon after the creation of the Société de Géographie de Lyon (1873), É-F. Berlioux was appointed professor of geography in the faculté des lettres, a post that he held from 1874 until 1889. Emphasizing the importance of topographical study, this popular lecturer and self-taught geographer has now been forgotten. Then followed a succession of much younger men, four of whom left Lyon for the Sorbonne, one died in post, and only one spent his whole career at Lyon. These six scholars published mainly in the Annales de Géographie, but placed some work with the Bulletin de la Société de Géographie de Lyon. Establishment of the Institut des Études Rhodaniennes in 1923 and the arrival of A. Allix in the faculté soon afterwards drew to a close half a century of geographical pioneering.
