Perrache is a quarter of the

Presqu'île
.

Location

Gare de Lyon-Perrache
.

Perrache is located to the south of

Pierre-Marie Taillepied de Bondy
, prefect of the Rhône from 1809 to 1814.

The

multimodal station of Perrache
shares the quarter into two parts which include train station, tram and metro.

The historical isolation of the southern area of the tracks is illustrated by the words "derrière les voûtes" ("behind the vaults") frequently used to designate this quarter. Neglected for a long time, the quarter is currently the subject of a major operation planning, like what happened at Gerland on the left river of the Rhone. The revaluation of the quarter is mainly concentrated around the project of the Musée des Confluences by Coop Himmelb(l)au.

Transport

The quarter has two highways (

A7 Lyon - Marseille), which will be replaced by the future A44
.
