Halle Tony Garnier

A vast steel-and-glass hall built in the early twentieth century, this structure was designed by the pioneering architect Tony Garnier as a cattle market and abattoir for Lyon. Its enormous unobstructed span, once an engineering marvel, now serves as a concert and exhibition venue hosting large events beneath its soaring metal roof. The restored ironwork and generous natural light recall the ambitions of industrial-age architecture. Named after its creator, it stands as a monument to Lyon's manufacturing heritage in the Gerland district.
