La Rue de Créqui is a very long street located in the 7th, 3rd and 6th arrondissements of Lyon.

The street was named as tribute of a family of Artois which several members were famous, including Charles 1st (1578–1638), Duke of Lesdiguieres, Lieutenant General of the Dauphine, whom the street is named after.

To the north, the street was then called by its current name, but at the time it stopped at the monument of victims of the siege of Lyon, which was much larger than today.

In the south, it was called the Rue des Martyrs between 1872 and 1874, having been so named in memory of the massacres of the Terror (1793–1794).

The street is mainly composed of many law firms, a library, several restaurants and the Croix Rouge Lyonnaise.
