Montée Saint-Clair-Duport, Historic road in 5th arrondissement of Lyon, France

The montée Saint-Clair-Duport extends 60 meters in length and 10 meters in width, connecting Quai Fulchiron to Rue de la Quarantaine.

Archaeological excavations in 1947 revealed ancient skulls, tombs, and remnants of the Saint-Laurent de Choulans funeral basilica beneath the street's surface.

The street carries the name of Clair-Dominique-Eugène Duport, an economist who managed Lyon's civil hospitals from 1854 to 1864.

The street terminated at the construction of the Fourvière tunnel in 1967, leading to significant modifications in the local road network.

Excavations uncovered a mass grave from the 1628 plague outbreak, demonstrating continuous human presence from the 7th to 17th centuries.
