A social housing area open to visitors...
“Cité Tony Garnier”, a great piece of architecture, is an open air exhibition hall. The forty-nine buildings by Tony Garnier are an amazing
example of his innovative ideas in the field of urban planning. It underlines the commitment of Edouard Herriot, then Mayor of Lyon, and
Lyon municipality towards the construction of social housing for factory workers.
Seventy years later, the works of art designed by Cité de la Création symbolize the modernity of this quarter. In the streets, painted on the
building walls, they compose the best ensemble of murals in Lyon. Includes a full color storycard describing each image.
