Can you hear the whispers of history along Rue d’Auvergne? This street, nestled in Lyon’s Ainay district, holds tales as old as the Roman Empire. Rue d’Auvergne begins at Rue Sainte-Héléne and ends at Place Ampère, intersected by Rue Jarente. In Roman times, the Ile d’Ainay bustled with wine merchants and traders. Their legacy echoes in the very stones of Rue d’Auvergne. Centuries later, in 1605, Jesuits established themselves at the corner of Rue Sainte-Héléne and what would become Rue d’Auvergne. The street itself wasn’t opened until 1738. Cardinal Henri-Oswald de La Tour d’Auvergne, the abbot of Ainay Abbey, ceded land for its creation. The street was named in his honor that same year, 1738, by a consular deliberation. This act solidified his place in the history of Rue d’Auvergne. As you walk along Rue d’Auvergne, imagine a young Charles Baudelaire. At number 6, a plaque marks the house where he lived from 1832 to 1836. Perhaps the whispers of history you hear carry echoes of his verses. The spirit of Baudelaire, forever intertwined with Rue d’Auvergne, invites you to explore its timeless charm.
