Caluire-et-Cuire

The Rhône and Saône define the setting of Caluire-et-Cuire — the commune occupies rising ground between the two rivers just north of central Lyon, where residential districts extend along the metropolitan river corridors. This is a separate municipality within the Lyon urban area, not a Lyon arrondissement, with densely built neighbourhoods climbing from the banks into the slopes. Caluire-et-Cuire holds an important place in the history of the French Resistance: Jean Moulin was arrested here on 21 June 1943 at the home of Dr Frédéric Dugoujon. The Maison du Docteur Dugoujon commemorates the event. Move on to other webcams in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes to compare river settings and urban landscapes around Lyon.
