[1] In 1812, on a two-acre field, he built an estate called Clos Dumenge, which provided building-workshops specially designed for weavers (the canuts).

Dumenge took the opportunity to give his name to one of the streets bordering the housing estate[3] (see the municipal council of 21 September 1817).

[7] In the southern side, a beautiful stone archway can be seen, and after the Rue du Pavillon, a small one-story house and a workshop with balustrades, stairs and a glass roof.

The street ends with a set of small houses, and the corner of the Rue Dumont-d'Urville is adorned with a little man in its niche.

[8] There are few restaurants as well as workshops which house several associations about environment, including Greenpeace France (Lyon group), Ecologist magazine S!lence, the network Sortir du Nucleaire, Salon Primrose, and others.
