Confluence: Innovation Meets Culture

Confluence embodies Lyon's ambitious evolution from urban decline to a thriving hub of modern architecture and cultural significance.

Established in recent years through a major urban renewal project, Confluence spans 150 hectares. It includes the Musée des Confluences, notable for its avant-garde architectural forms, and the Pôle de Commerces et de Loisirs Confluence, a shopping complex topped with a huge transparent roof. Initiated in the early 21st century, this redevelopment has transformed the area from derelict warehouses into a vibrant urban center, seamlessly integrating the natural elements of the Rhône and Saône rivers.
