The neighborhood

Inaugurated in June 1934, the Gratte-Ciel buildings of Villeurbanne are 80 years old. This social and architectural complex of public buildings and social housing, with rather modern perspectives for its time, has become the city's emblem.

Villeurbanne offers all the advantages of a large city in a greener and quieter environment, with direct proximity to the chic 6th arrondissement and the Part-Dieu district. By metro, tram, or bus, you’ll have quick access to all the districts of Lyon.

Villeurbanne has a rich and lively neighborhood life: young people, families, and retirees. The city offers numerous cultural structures, sports complexes, associations, many shops, schools, high schools, and universities.

The diversity of its residents adds to the uniqueness and richness of Villeurbanne. With its strong cultural heritage, the city features historical places such as the Gratte-Ciel, City Hall, the Théâtre National Populaire, Anatole France School, the Maison du Livre de l'Image et du Son, Studio 24, Astroballe (ASVEL), and the former Bayard or Bally factories. New neighborhoods such as the Terrain des Sœurs are shaping the future of the city.

Culture: Villeurbanne hosts varied venues and major events that are social, creative, and lively. Public and private theaters (TNP, Théâtre de l'IRIS), the National School of Music, concert halls (Toï Toï Le Zinc and Transbordeur), the IAC (Institute of Contemporary Art), an independent cinema (Le Zola, retro style), cultural centers (Rize and CCO), a Ninkasi as in Lyon, the House of Image and Sound (the city's media library), the Invites, the short film festival, and the youth book festival.

Sports: Villeurbanne boasts numerous sports facilities, including the Astroballe for our basketball champions.
