8th arrondissement of Lyon
8th arrondissement of Lyon, Administrative district in eastern Lyon, France
The 8th arrondissement spans 6.67 square kilometers and contains several quarters including Bachut, Monplaisir, and Les États-Unis, connected by major boulevards.
The district gained independence from the 7th arrondissement in 1959, transforming from agricultural land into an industrial zone with factories during the late 19th century.
The Institut Lumière preserves the heritage of cinema pioneers, while Tony Garnier's architectural designs shape the character of residential buildings throughout the district.
Public transportation connects the district through five metro stations on Line D and multiple tram lines, facilitating movement across different neighborhoods.
The painted walls of residential buildings in the États-Unis quarter display an architectural innovation that combines social housing with artistic expression.
