Getting your bearings
From Bellecour to Vieux-Lyon
Bellecour is Lyon's centre of gravity: the largest square on the Presqu'île, between the Rhône and the Saône, the starting point of every stroll. Many look for a Lyonnaise table there without knowing the real bouchon is waiting just opposite, across the Saône.
Aux Trois Maries stands on rue des Trois-Maries, at the foot of the Fourvière hill, in the Renaissance quarter listed as a World Heritage site. A handful of minutes separate the great square from the chequered-tile dining room — the time it takes to cross from the Lyon of shops to the Lyon of traboules.
Getting here
A few minutes from the square
The simplest way: metro line D links Bellecour to Vieux-Lyon station in a single stop. As you come out, Saint-Jean cathedral and then rue des Trois-Maries are a few steps away, without ever leaving the historic heart.
On foot, allow a pleasant ten minutes, crossing the Saône by the footbridge or the pont Bonaparte: the walk is part of the meal. As the quarter is largely pedestrian, you arrive at the table relaxed rather than hunting for a parking space.
In fine weather, the terrace spreads over the cobbles, in the shade of the lime tree on place de la Baleine — the ideal stop after a morning on the Presqu'île.
At the table
A real bouchon, not a passing address
Born in the middle of the last century, the house keeps the Lyonnaise table alive without folklore: carefully chosen local produce, honest cooking, attentive service. The address takes its name from rue des Trois-Maries, named in the 17th century after the three Marys of the Gospel.
Lunch here is like dinner, in a room of chequered tiles and wall slates, or upstairs beneath the mouldings. The spirit remains that of a Lyon bistro, more contemporary, yet always convivial — the perfect way to extend an outing on the Presqu'île around a genuine neighbourhood table.
On the plate
Lyonnaise cuisine, in its rightful place
From generous starters to the classics of the bouchon, a menu rooted in local produce, completed with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
