Tucked between Rue Berliet and Rue Jouvet lies Rue Louis Chapuy. It’s a short street in Lyon, but it holds a fascinating story. Rue Louis Chapuy is named after a local artist. Louis Chapuy was born in Lyon in 1882 and died in Bron in 1967. He’s known for his paintings of Lyon’s streets. He captured the everyday life and scenery of areas like La Buire, Créqui, and Chaponnay. His work offers a glimpse into the past, preserving the charm of old Lyon. Rue Louis Chapuy itself is a quiet street. It’s shaded by a double row of trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere. On one side, the Lycée Colbert is hidden behind trees and hedges. On the other, the sports field and gymnasium offer a more open view. The street was opened in the 1960s. It cuts through what was once the Jullien property. Today, cars often use Rue Louis Chapuy as a shortcut. They race through, disrupting the tranquility of this otherwise serene spot. But if you take a moment to pause and look around, you can still appreciate the charm of Rue Louis Chapuy. It’s a tribute to a local artist and a reminder of Lyon’s rich history.
