Tour Part-Dieu
Rising above Lyon’s skyline, Tour Part-Dieu—often nicknamed “the Pencil” for its distinctive shape—offers one of the city’s most striking vantage points. Built in 1977, the tower stands 164 meters high, making it the tallest building in Lyon and a landmark of the Part-Dieu business district. Its observation deck provides sweeping views across the Rhône and Saône rivers, the historic old town, and on clear days, even the distant Alps. More than just an office tower, it has become a symbol of modern Lyon, contrasting with the city’s Renaissance architecture and Roman heritage. For visitors, the experience combines architectural curiosity with breathtaking panoramas, making Tour Part-Dieu an essential stop for those wishing to see Lyon from above.
Lyon FranceTour Part-Dieu is located at 129 Rue Servient in the La Part-Dieu district of Lyon's 3rd arrondissement. It is a prominent skyscraper known locally as "Le Crayon" (The Pencil) due to its distinctive cylindrical shape topped with a pyramid. The tower sits in the heart of Lyon's major business and commercial district, directly adjacent to the large La Part-Dieu shopping center and near the Gare Part-Dieu train station, a central hub for regional and high-speed rail connections. Surrounding the tower are numerous office buildings, restaurants, cafes, and transportation links, with several cultural spots and the expansive Parc de la Tête d'Or (home to the Zoo de Lyon) within walking distance, offering a mix of urban convenience and nearby green spaces. This location makes it a key landmark and a bustling area for business and leisure in Lyon.
