Rue des Marronniers, Pedestrian street in Bellecour quarter, Lyon, France
The Rue des Marronniers is a pedestrian street in Lyon's 2nd arrondissement with stone-paved walkways and buildings from different time periods. Along the street, restaurants with outdoor terraces line the way, creating a connected space for walking and dining.
The name comes from chestnut trees that once defined the area until the 18th century. A municipal decree from 1723 marks the official starting point of this street in the city.
This street holds several traditional restaurants where people gather to eat regional Lyon dishes prepared the old way. Diners sit on wooden benches at shared tables, which reflects how the local community has always lived and eaten together.
The street sits near Bellecour metro station and connects Place Bellecour with Rue de la Barre. Visitors will find many restaurants and can walk easily through the flat, paved pedestrian area.
At number 3 bis, a hidden passage runs through four buildings and shows construction details from different time periods. You can see features in the style of King Louis XVI's era, which tells the long story of this place.
