In 1925, Avenue des Pins transformed. It became Avenue Lacassagne, honoring the renowned medico-legal expert Alexandre Lacassagne. Avenue Lacassagne stretches nearly 3 kilometers across Lyon’s 3rd arrondissement. It begins at the intersection of Rue Paul-Bert and Rue Maurice-Flandin. It extends westward, ending at Boulevard Pinel, opposite the Vinatier Hospital. Avenue Lacassagne dominates the 3rd arrondissement, running almost its entire length east to west. While most of the current buildings date from the late 20th century, a few Art Nouveau mansions remain. These offer glimpses into the avenue’s more elegant past. One notable building at number 84, Chateau Lacassagne, now houses a community center. Avenue Lacassagne also boasts a modern library at number 86. The Bibliothèque du 3e arrondissement Lacassagne – Marguerite Yourcenar opened its doors in 2017. Even fictional characters have walked this avenue. The 1971 novel, “Les Six Compagnons et la Princesse noire,” features Avenue Lacassagne as part of its setting.
