Halle Tony Garnier

Halle Tony Garnier is a large event venue in the 7th arrondissement of Lyon with a steel frame structure that creates spacious interior areas. The building can accommodate up to 17,000 people standing and hosts concerts, exhibitions, and various events.

The building was constructed in 1908 as a livestock market and slaughterhouse, then converted into an armaments factory during World War I. After several decades of different uses, it was transformed into a concert venue in 1988 and has served as a cultural space ever since.

The hall serves as a major venue for live music and art exhibitions in Lyon. It draws visitors from across the region who come to experience contemporary artists and international performers in a single space.

The venue is well connected by public transport with multiple bus stops nearby and follows modern safety standards. Plan your visit around event schedules, and note that the large capacity means crowds during popular performances.

The building was constructed using blue stone from Vogüé, a regional material that gives its structure a distinctive appearance. This local stone type connects the hall to Lyon's broader architectural heritage and regional building traditions.
