Confluence: the tip of the peninsula

A fine example of contemporary urbanism where the environment is preserved.

For a long time isolated, the tip of the Peninsula district, has been magnificently redeveloped and integrated into the town. The main feature of the scheme is the Musée des Confluences.
To discover the many facets of this complex and enigmatic architectural structure, cross the Rhône on the Raymond Barre bridge, and walk around the museum from its northern side. Once inside the museum, the exhibitions take visitors from east to west, from water to clouds, with some amazing views of Lyon along the way...
A walk through the park and along the path by the Saône to the Docks Sud, offers various views of this strange vessel in the metallic surroundings of the former port... The museum’s original architectural design alone is enough to warrant a visit.
