Vaulx-en-Velin

The landscape around Vaulx-en-Velin is a flat alluvial plain between the Rhône and the Canal de Jonage, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Part of the Lyon metropolitan area, the commune developed rapidly during the 20th century and today combines established neighbourhoods with major renewal projects. The Canal de Jonage leads towards the Grand Parc Miribel-Jonage, a large waterside recreation area on Lyon’s eastern edge. Vaulx-en-Velin’s Planetarium is a notable local cultural institution, presenting astronomy and space science through exhibitions and public programmes.
