Nestled quietly in Saint-Rambert, Impasse Auguste Rodin awaits. It’s a short, secluded street branching off Rue Albert Camus. Impasse Auguste Rodin isn’t your typical grand boulevard. It’s an intimate space. Two double houses line the entrance, leading to a wider area with a final house at the end. Impasse Auguste Rodin is a haven of green. Lush gardens surround each house, creating a tranquil, hidden world. The impasse itself was developed around the 1960s, along with the neighboring streets. Now, let’s talk about the man behind the name: Auguste Rodin. Born in Paris in 1840, Rodin became a giant in the world of sculpture. His iconic “The Thinker” stands as a testament to his artistic genius. Lyon has its own Rodin treasure in the garden of the Palais Saint-Pierre. But Impasse Auguste Rodin’s connection to the artist runs deeper. Jeanne Bratte, wife of Louis Bardey, played a key role in bringing Rodin’s art to Lyon. She was his last pupil and mistress. Her daughter, Henriette, even modeled for the master sculptor. Together, they created the bas-reliefs adorning the Grande Poste on Place Antonin Poncet, signed JH Bardey. So, as you stand before Impasse Auguste Rodin, remember the layers of history and artistry woven into this quiet, leafy corner of Lyon. From the gardens that embrace the houses to the echoes of Rodin’s influence, it’s a place that whispers stories of creativity and connection.
