La Duchère, Administrative district in 9th arrondissement of Lyon, France.
La Duchère is a residential neighborhood in the northwest of Lyon that sprawls across a substantial area with mixed housing and green spaces. The district combines older settlement patterns with newer construction, creating a varied urban landscape that reflects different periods of development.
The area was once home to a castle built in the 14th century that underwent significant renovations over the following centuries. Only a washhouse from the 17th century survives today, standing as a remnant of that distant past.
The neighborhood received eco-district certification in 2013, reflecting its transformation into a modern residential area with environmental considerations.
The neighborhood is well-served by public transportation and offers access to schools, shops, and medical facilities. Visitors should plan time for exploration since the area covers a large territory.
The district houses a public childcare facility that accommodates 25 children at 236 avenue du Plateau, supporting local families with essential services.
