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.

On your doorstep
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.
- 16.The Beaujolais — Golden-stone villages and rolling vineyards just north of the city — a lazy day of cellar tastings and long lunches. The wine country on Lyon's doorstep.
