Rime riche (French pronunciation: [ʁim ʁiʃ]) is a form of rhyme with identical sounds, if different spellings.

In French poetry, rhymes are sometimes classified into the categories "rime pauvre" ("poor rhyme"), "rime suffisante" ("sufficient rhyme"), "rime riche" ("rich rhyme") and "rime richissime" ("very rich rhyme"), according to the number of rhyming sounds in the two words or in the parts of the two verses. For example to rhyme "parla" with "sauta" would be a poor rhyme (the words have only the final vowel in common), to rhyme "cheval" with "fatal" a sufficient rhyme, and "grise" with "brise" a rich rhyme.

An English example could be:

While interest accrues,

Let's go on a cruise.

-In [[French poetry]], rhymes are sometimes classified into the categories "rime pauvre" ("poor rhyme"), "rime suffisante" ("sufficient rhyme"), "rime riche" ("rich rhyme") and "rime richissime" ("very rich rhyme"), according to the number of rhyming sounds in the two words or in the parts of the two verses. "It is the repetition of the consonant that precedes, as well as the one that follows, the last stressed vowel; the last stressed vowel; the resulting pair of words are pronounced alike but have different meanings".  For example to rhyme "parla" with "sauta" would be a poor rhyme (the words have only the final vowel in common), to rhyme "cheval" with "fatal" a sufficient rhyme, and "grise" with "brise" a rich rhyme. This form was very common in French poetry the well known British poet Geoffrey Chaucer  used this form in his poem like The Canterbury Tales. After Chaucer this device was not used by many and we find very rare use of this device in English literature.
