Lyon Confluence
La Confluence
A new district at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône, lined with avant-garde buildings such as the Orange Cube, plus a large shopping center.
Lyon Confluence was once a port and industrial zone. After more than 20 years of redevelopment, it has become a showcase of sustainable urban design in Europe. Along the Saône quays you'll see bold buildings such as the Cube Orange and the Green Cube. At the center is the Place Nautique, a square around an artificial marina, surrounded by the Confluence shopping center, restaurants and a cinema. A 15-minute walk south leads to the Musée des Confluences. Take tram T1 to Hôtel de Région–Montrochet or another stop, or take the Vaporetto water bus on the Saône.
