Quai Fulchiron, Riverfront in 5th arrondissement, Lyon, France

Quai Fulchiron is a riverfront quay in Lyon's 5th arrondissement, running along the right bank of the Saône from the Pont Bonaparte to the Pont Kitchener-Marchand. It was built during widening works on the bank between 1840 and 1861. A paved pedestrian walkway follows the water, edged by a red metal railing with diagonal bars forming a diamond lattice.

The location served as an important port center during Roman times, as shown by archaeological discoveries of shipwrecks in the river. These finds reveal the site's long history as a maritime hub.

The quay's name honours Jean-Claude Fulchiron, a Lyon-born deputy of the Rhône from 1831 to 1845 who helped fund its widening; the municipal council gave him this honour on 10 May 1838. Before that it was the quai de la Commanderie, and in 1848 it briefly became quai Jean-Jacques Rousseau before reverting in 1849.

The quay connects easily to public transportation and has bicycle stations available for getting around. Walking along the water is straightforward and connects to the neighborhood streets without obstacles.

Three traboules open onto the quay: at no. 19, leading to 47 rue Saint-Georges; at no. 22, now walled up, formerly to 53 rue Saint-Georges; and at no. 26, a small one to 63 rue Saint-Georges.
