The Part Dieu : the second most important tertiary centre, after la defense
La Part Dieu is the second largest business district in France after La Defense. In its large towers, typical of Lyon 3, are the offices of various companies: La Tour Part-Dieu also nicknamed le Crayon because of its shape (meaning the pencil” ; with its Radisson hotel and the famous Celest restaurant), the Swiss Life Tower, the Incity Tower, the Tour EDF, the Oxygene tower and the To-Lyon tower.
Access to workplaces is facilitated by the Part Dieu station (TGV, metro, bus and tram lines) and the Rhone Express (which provides direct and rapid transport from Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport).
