Quai Docteur Gailleton

Quai Docteur Gailleton, Riverfront in 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France.

Quai Docteur Gailleton is a riverfront path along the Rhône in Lyon's 2nd arrondissement. The quay stretches as a primary walking route with direct river access, connecting different parts of the city.

The quay was formed in 1830 by merging three sections: the quai Bellescize, opened in 1772–1774; the quai de la Charité; and the quai d'Orient. It was renamed in April 1907 after Antoine Gailleton (1829–1904), a doctor and mayor of Lyon from 1881 to 1900.

The quay's name recalls Antoine Gailleton, a doctor and mayor of Lyon from 1881 to 1900; in April 1907 the former quai de la Charité was renamed after him. Its earlier names trace local history: quai Monsieur, given in 1775 when the king's brother passed through Lyon with his wife, then quai de Marseille in 1793 and cours Napoléon in 1804. Since 2021 the central allée between the plane trees has held France's first carpooling "station", set up by the Métropole.

The quay runs from rue de la Barre and pont de la Guillotière to cours de Verdun near pont Gallieni, with an underpass beneath each bridge. It is a divided-carriageway road on Lyon's busy north-south axis, so cross with care. In 2021 a carpooling meeting point was set up on the central strip between the plane trees.

In 2021 the central lane between the plane trees became France's first official carpooling meeting point, set up by the Métropole de Lyon. Drivers and passengers meet there to share rides along the north-south axis.
