    Hiking

    The embodiment of the social housing policies of the 1930s, the Gratte-Ciel were commissioned by Lazare Goujon, then mayor of Villeurbanne, and designed by the architect Môrice Leroux. They have offered and still offer a high quality of housing and environment for their residents.
    Their construction gave Villeurbanne a well-defined centrality, the town having historically been organized around three centers relatively distant from each other (Cusset, Grandclément and Charpennes).

    Hiking

    The skyscraper towers in Villeurbanne are a group of iconic buildings located in the suburbs of Lyon, France. Built in the 1970s, these residential towers, notably the “Gratte-Ciel Centre” and the “Tonneau” are architectural symbols of the city. They provide housing and businesses, contributing to the urban skyline of Villeurbanne.
