7th arrondissement of Lyon
7th arrondissement of Lyon, Municipal district in southeastern Lyon, France
The 7th arrondissement stretches from Cours Gambetta to Gerland and is bordered by the Rhône River and neighboring districts. The district blends residential neighborhoods with commercial and institutional zones, offering a mix of architectural styles from different periods.
Created in 1912 from part of the 3rd arrondissement, this district developed around the historic Guillotière crossing over the Rhône. This ancient crossing point served as a vital transportation hub for centuries.
The Centre d'Histoire de la Résistance et de la Déportation displays exhibits about Lyon during World War II through documents, photographs, and personal accounts. Visitors can learn how local residents experienced this pivotal period in the city's past.
The district has multiple metro stations, tram lines, and Lyon-Jean Macé railway station, making it easy to reach central areas and regional destinations. Walking is practical for exploring neighborhoods, and public transport connections are well-distributed.
The Halle Tony Garnier was once a cattle market that was converted into a major concert hall. This transformation shows how industrial buildings can find new purpose in modern times.
