Rue de la République is a street located in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements of Lyon. This is the main shopping street of the city. This zone is served by the metro stations ''Bellecour'', ''Hôtel de Ville - Louis Pradel'' and ''Cordeliers''. The street belongs to the zone classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. ==History== After his appointment in 1853, the prefect of the Rhône and mayor of Lyon Claude-Marius Vaïsse decided to create three new roads connecting the Place Bellecour to other major squares of the Presqu'Île : * Rue Victor Hugo, connecting the Place Bellecour and Place Carnot * Rue de l'Impératrice, then renamed rue de l'Hôtel de Ville and then rue du Président-Édouard-Herriot, between Place Bellecour and Place des Terreaux * Rue Impériale (1862–1871), later renamed rue de Lyon (1871–1878), then rue de la République (since August–September 1878),〔Maurice Vanario, ''Rues de lyon à travers les siècles'', ELAH, Lyon, 2002.〕 which leads from the Place Bellecour to the Place Louis Pradel, where are the Hôtel de Ville and the Opera. Two squares have been created on this occasion, both located along the rue de la République : the Place Impériale (now Place de la République) and the Place des Cordeliers. The street, long over a kilometer, follows a southwest–northeast axis from the Place Bellecour to the Place de la République, then a north–south axis to the Place Louis Pradel. In 1894, the President Sadi Carnot was assassinated at the palace of Commerce, located on the Place des Cordeliers. In the 1970s, the construction of the line A of Metro generated the digging of trenches on the entire street. The location of the Rue de la République, in the center of the city, and its large number of shops make the street one of the most frequented ones of Lyon by day and night. It is also known by its apocope, "Rue de la Ré". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rue de la République」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
