"International City of Lyon" -- a fancy modern housing project, next to the Parc de la Tête d'Or and bordering the Rhône river, so with some fabulous views and, for some even better, easy access to the périphérique freeway. The Cité was built on the site of the old Foire de Lyon: Lyon was put on the world map by its trade fairs -- for centuries a border-town, between France and Savoy, undertaking trade sometimes with the permission of Paris and sometimes not, Lyon has a long and bumptious commercial history.
