The redeveloped southern tip where the rivers join — bold modern architecture, a waterfront mall, the Confluences museum and a growing bar scene. Sleek and newer, a tram-ride from the old centre; good value with a contemporary feel.

What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 10.Musée des Confluences — A spectacular deconstructivist cloud of steel and glass at the rivers' meeting point, holding a sweeping natural-history and anthropology collection. Worth it for the building alone; a bold contrast to the old city.
