6th arrondissement of Lyon
6th arrondissement of Lyon, Administrative district in Lyon, France
The 6th arrondissement stretches along the eastern bank of the Rhône River, containing wide boulevards, residential buildings, and the extensive Parc de la Tête d'Or.
The district emerged from floodplain areas in 1867 when it separated from the 3rd arrondissement, following architect Jean-Antoine Morand's rectangular grid street system development in 1765.
The Museum of Contemporary Art anchors the Cité Internationale complex, designed by Renzo Piano, presenting exhibitions throughout the year in modern architectural surroundings.
Multiple transportation options serve the district, including Foch and Masséna metro stations on line A, while the former Brotteaux train station functions as a metro stop.
The district houses France's largest urban park, featuring botanical gardens, a zoo with 130 animal species, and extensive running paths spread across 377 hectares.
