The Rue de la Poulaillerie is a street located in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France. It was first named rue Vaudran, [1] and also rue Maudite in reference to Peter Waldo, who founded what was considered a heresy at the time, the street received its current name from the fact that people exchanged poultry [2] until 1835, when part of this trade emigrated to the covered market of La Martinière.

History

It is a fairly narrow street that links the Rue de Brest to Rue de la République and was restored by Claude-Marius Vaïsse. In the 12th century, Peter Waldo was draper in the street. In 1529, there was a famous inn called Le Logis de L'Ours. [1] The street was named rue Maudite on the 1550 plan. [4]

At number 13, the Hôtel de la Couronne was used as Lyon City Hall From 1604 to 1652. At the architectural level, it had vaulted path, stairs and Florentine-styled galleries, and a monument sculpted by Philippe Lalyanne. [1] The building is now replaced by the Musée de l'imprimerie, created by Maurice Audin. [5] [6] The jeweler and watchmaker Adrien Fortune opened a shop in 1852.

Famous historical inhabitants included 15th-century gilder Jean Dirigrunis, painter of the Consulate Pierre Jacquand and printer Jacques Nigon, both of the 19th century. [1]
