Oullins-Pierre-Benite

Few towns in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes have a history as closely tied to railway engineering as Oullins-Pierre-Bénite. Formed in 2024 from Oullins and Pierre-Bénite, the municipality stands on the western bank of the Rhône, immediately south of Lyon. Railway work shaped Oullins from the 19th century: the Ateliers d’Oullins opened in 1846 and became an important centre for locomotive maintenance and repair. Today, Metro line B connects the area directly with central Lyon, while the river corridor remains a defining part of its setting.
