The first veterinary school in the world was created in Lyon in 1761聽by an equerry, Claude Bourgelat (1712-1779), a man renowned for his skill in horsemanship and horse medicine, a man fully able to understand the issues of his time. Aware of the scope of the physiocratic movement and of the need to improve the health of farm animals, he was able to understand the expectations of Henri-L茅onard Bertin, Minister of King Louis XV, in proposing the creation of an establishment, breaking with traditional farriery. The creation of the Veterinary School of Lyon would mark a milestone: the consideration of livestock and the establishment of a profession, based on a scientific approach applied to all species. His relations, his communication skills, his European reputation and the opening of the first two schools to foreign students have ensured dissemination of this renewed vision throughout Europe, and provided these schools and their creator with a reputation that they still retain today.
