Valpré is rooted in the history of Lyon: the castle and the farm date back to 1680, before being rebuilt in 1870. In 1947 the religious congregation of the Catholic Church of the Augustinians of the Assumption, called Assomptionnists acquired this property. A building was created in 1952 to form religious youth.

From 1970 Valpré becomes venue associations, church movements and professional groups.

In 1997, a complete renovation of buildings and structures is achieved.
