The Rue des Marronniers (French pronunciation: [ʁy de maʁɔnje]) is a street located in the Bellecour quarter, in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon.

Located near the Place Bellecour and the Place Antonin-Poncet, the street was named after the trees that lined the square (they have since been removed)[1] on its eastern side until the eighteenth century,[2] after being named Rue de Jérusalem, then Rue Neuve des Basses-brayes.

In 1952, Roger Planchon created the Théâtre de la Comédie at number 3 bis, a former locksmith's workshop.

When he left Lyon for Villeurbanne, Marcel Maréchal succeeded him and installed the Théâtre du Cothurne.

In 1986, the small theatre was turned into a cinema named CNP Bellecour,[6] currently open on the Rue de la Barre.
