Few towns in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes have a history as closely tied to mining as Sain-Bel. Set in the Monts du Lyonnais, the commune follows the Brévenne valley west of Lyon, where wooded slopes and farmland replace the city’s dense suburbs. Mining shaped local life for generations and remains an important thread in the area’s identity. Today, Sain-Bel is also the western terminus of the Lyon–Saint-Paul tram-train route, linking this small Rhône settlement with the regional capital.
