Amidst the vibrant tapestry of Lyon’s Croix-Rousse district, lies a quiet passage. This passage holds a story of courage and sacrifice. The Claude Louis Perret Plaque, nestled within this passage, serves as a poignant reminder of a local hero. Claude Louis Perret, born in Lyon in 1886, dedicated his life to serving his community. He was the administrator of the secular patronage in the 4th arrondissement. This role showcased his commitment to social welfare. During World War II, Perret bravely joined the resistance. This act of defiance ultimately led to his capture and deportation to the Dachau concentration camp. He tragically perished there on February 1, 1945. The Claude Louis Perret Plaque stands as a testament to his unwavering spirit. Two plaques were erected in his memory in Lyon. One is located here in the passage that also bears his name. The passage itself, connecting Rue de Belfort to Place Joannès Ambre, is bordered by charming gardens and the backs of buildings, including a theatre and a boules club. The Claude Louis Perret Plaque reminds us that even in the darkest hours, individuals can rise to extraordinary heights of courage and selflessness. Let us remember Claude Louis Perret, a true Lyonnaise hero.
