The emblematic oyster bar of Les Halles since 1906
House founded in 1906
La maison
Founded in 1906 by Fernand Rousseau in the heart of the former Halles des Cordeliers, Maison Rousseau has been a companion to Lyon's lovers of seafood for more than a century. In 1971, the house joined Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse on cours Lafayette, where it stands today as one of the most emblematic addresses of the gourmet market.
Across four generations, Maison Rousseau has remained devoted to a single commitment: the quality of its produce and excellence of service. Since 2001, Jean-Louis and Alexandra Lemmens have carried on this tradition with passion, perpetuating the oyster-shucker's craft while keeping the family spirit of the house alive.
At the oyster bar, you choose your oysters and shellfish to take away or to savour on the spot, seated facing the shuckers whose precise gestures are a pleasure to watch. The house thus brings together a shellfish trade and a table of the sea, in the lively atmosphere of Les Halles Paul Bocuse, celebrating in 2026 its one hundred and twentieth year.
Coquillages et cuisine de la mer aux Halles
Quatre générations engagées pour un même idéal : la qualité des produits et l'excellence du service de l'écailler.
« Un service et des produits de qualité, perpétués depuis quatre générations. »
Maison Rousseau · Écailler aux Halles depuis 1906
L'incontournable
On choisit ses huîtres et ses fruits de mer à emporter ou à déguster sur place, attablé face aux écaillers dont on admire le geste. Une institution lyonnaise qui célèbre en 2026 ses cent vingt ans d'existence.
