In the 70s a very modern and bold district of Part-Dieu was created. A part of this project was a railway station, as well as an enourmous shopping mall that goes by the same name.
One of the symbols of Lyon is a 42-storey tower, affectionately referred to by the locals as a "pencil" – a bank building visible from afar. At present the suburbs, and in particular Villeurbaine and Vénissieux, develop in a similar manner.
A great place to stop your rental car and have some rest after a long day is Parc de la Tête d'Or (meaning "Golden Head Park"), which is one of Europe's largest urban parks. Its area is full of attractions such as the orangery, botanical garden and greenhouses.
