Rue Dumenge

Rue Dumenge is located in the La Croix-Rousse neighborhood of Lyon's 4th arrondissement. Named after Pierre-Gabriel Dumenge, who built workshops for weavers here in the early 19th century, the street recalls the history of the Canuts. Here you'll find characteristic Canut-style residential façades, a stone archway, and historic workshops with glass roofs. At the corner of Rue Dumont-d'Urville, a small niche holding a statue adorns the top of the street's steps. Today the area is home to a few restaurants as well as various environmental organizations, including the local Greenpeace group. The location is well connected to the public transportation network.
