La Part-Dieu (French: [la paʁ djø]) is an area of Lyon Metropolis. It is also the second largest tertiary district in France, after La Défense in Greater Paris. The area contains the Part-Dieu train station.[4][5][2][6]

Located in the eastern part of the city of Lyon, this urban centre also provides major entertainment and cultural facilities, including one of the largest urban shopping malls in Europe, 800 shops, Paul Bocuse indoor food market, café terraces, the Auditorium concert hall, Bourse du Travail theatre, Municipal Library, Departmental Archives and Fort Montluc. It contains several High-rise buildings, including the Tour Incity (202 m (663 ft)), the Tour To-Lyon (171 m (561 ft)) and the Tour Part-Dieu (164 m (538 ft)).
