Quai Perrache, Riverfront in 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France
The Quai Perrache extends along the Saône River, forming a connection point between the Cours de Verdun and the Pont de la Mulatière bridge.
Engineer Antoine Michel Perrache directed the construction of this embankment from 1726 until his death in 1779, establishing a crucial waterfront infrastructure.
The Saint Joseph Prison, constructed in 1831, represents one of the first major architectural developments along this riverfront, marking a significant period of urban growth.
The area provides extensive parking facilities and multiple bus connections, while serving as a primary thoroughfare for accessing different sections of Lyon.
The waterfront zone includes former industrial spaces that now house technology companies, demonstrating the transformation from maritime commerce to digital innovation.
