Slipping through a gap in the bustling Rue Chazière, you’ll find yourself on Rue Ribot. Rue Ribot is a quiet street. It offers a glimpse into a more residential side of Lyon. The street begins facing 74 Rue Chazière and stretches towards Rue de la Corniche. It’s a relatively young street in Lyon’s 4th arrondissement, likely established shortly after 1923. Named after Alexandre Ribot, this unassuming street holds a connection to a significant figure in French political history. Looking west from Rue Ribot, you can see the apartment buildings of La Duchère, a reminder of Lyon’s modern urban landscape. Rue Ribot itself, however, retains a charming simplicity. Small fences border the gardens of a row of modest, one-story houses. The architecture is straightforward, yet pleasing to the eye. Parked cars and power lines detract somewhat from the charm on the south side, making the houses appear larger than they are. The street is primarily residential, a haven from the commercial activity of the city. Alexandre Ribot, born in 1842 and died in 1923, served as Prime Minister of France multiple times, beginning in 1893 and again during World War I. He also held various ministerial positions and was a member of the Académie Française. One of his notable achievements was a law concerning low-income housing. There’s even an OPAC residence named after him in nearby Villeurbanne. So, as you stand on Rue Ribot, remember that this tranquil street bears the name of a man who shaped French politics. It is a testament to his legacy, hidden amidst the everyday life of Lyon’s 4th arrondissement.
