The district "La Confluence" - literally translated "The Confluence" - is located between the two rivers Rhone and Saône. As the name suggests, right at the mouth. Since 2003, the quarter has been consistently transformed from the commercial and industrial location it used to be into a residential and business district. Architecture enthusiasts can already marvel at this change in many places, for example at the sight of the "Musée des Confluences" or the gigantic, green cube of the TV station Euronews.

To really arrive in Lyon you have to have biked to the tip of the peninsula at the confluence of the Saône with the Rhône River, passing the bright red greeting letters of the city south of the modern Confluence Museum.
