About Lyon 09
Where to stay in Lyon 09
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Where you stay in Lyon 09 depends on whether you pick the heights or the lower quays. Up on the plateau La Duchère gathers around the Panoramic tower of La Duchère, the Stadium of La Duchère, and Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier de La Duchère, an airy hilltop quarter of open blocks and long views that suits travellers wanting space over the city. The ground drops below.
Its Vaise and Serin streets near église Saint-Charles de Serin and Église Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation keep a denser, better-connected base within easy reach of the older core of Lyon.
About Lyon 09
What are the main landmarks in Lyon 09?
The main landmarks in Lyon 09 stand between the plateau and the lower streets. Height marks La Duchère. The Panoramic tower of La Duchère rises over the hill beside the Stadium of La Duchère and Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier de La Duchère, with église Notre-Dame-de-Balmont de La Duchère set among the blocks.
Lower down the churches of Vaise and Serin mark the older ground, with église Saint-Charles de Serin and Église Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation standing over the streets, while the Tomaselli Collection adds to the cultural life of this side of Lyon.
What is the history of Lyon 09?
Lyon 09 joins two older grounds of Lyon, the riverside quarters of Vaise and Serin and the later hill of La Duchère. Two stories meet here. The lower streets grew first as working districts by the water, where église Saint-Charles de Serin and Église Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation marked the old parishes.
The plateau rose much later as a planned housing quarter, and the Panoramic tower of La Duchère, the Stadium of La Duchère, and Église Notre-Dame-du-Monde-Entier de La Duchère mark that modern chapter above the older river town.
Where is Lyon 09?
Lyon 09 rises from the lower quarters of Vaise and Serin to the plateau of La Duchère, crowned by the Panoramic tower of La Duchère above the old river streets of Lyon.
