Givors

Givors sits at the confluence of the Rhône and Gier rivers in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, where the Rhône valley forms a major corridor south of Lyon. Long shaped by river trade, railways and industry, the town retains a working character distinct from the vineyard villages of the surrounding region. The Canal de Givors, built in the late 18th century to link the Gier valley with the Rhône, recalls its role in transporting coal and manufactured goods. Givors is also known for the Cité des Étoiles, an experimental 1970s housing complex designed by architect Jean Renaudie.
