Perhaps you’ve arrived via the metro’s D line. Or maybe the T3 tram brought you here. Either way welcome to Rue Professeur Louis Roche.
This street in Lyon’s 3rd arrondissement bears the name of a notable figure. Louis Pierre Marie Roche was a French scholar. He contributed to the fields of knowledge. Paul Lechat and Sophie Hennet wrote his biography. The CTHS-La France savante holds the copyright.
But who was Louis Roche? Sadly, details are scarce. The archives offer limited insights into his life. We know the street is conveniently accessible. Buses C11 and C13 stop nearby. The Domrémy-Lacassagne bus stop is a short walk away.
Imagine children’s laughter echoing from number 6. This is the École Montbrillant. During school holidays, the MJC Sans Souci uses these premises. Up to 68 children aged 3 to 11 participate in holiday activities.
The MJC Sans Souci also organizes trips. In winter 2025, a group ventured to the Vercors mountains. They stayed at the “Bois de lune” gîte in Autrans. The children enjoyed various activities. Skiing was on the program. The weather had to be good of course.
Families paid different rates for the trip. The cost depended on their CAF quotient. Some families benefited from VACAF assistance. This covered part of the trip’s cost.
