Lyon - Tour Part-Dieu & Auditorium Maurice Ravel

            Part-Dieu | Rue Servient
The Tour Part-Dieu (formerly Tour du Crédit Lyonnais) rises 164.9 metres in the city's La Part-Dieu district, with 42 floors.
The top 10 floors are occupied by Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon, the highest hotel in Europe. The rest of the floors are office space.
According to the wishes of the architect, the top of this tower is roughly the same height as the Notre-Dame de Fourviere. At its opening in 1977, it was the 4th tallest building in France and is currently the 10th. The tower has a cylindrical shape. It is topped by a 23 metre high pyramid.
Arch. Araldo Cossuta & Partners
1972-77.
On the occasion of its 31st anniversary, the tower changed its name and logo. On September 22, 2008, the building was officially named Tour Part Dieu. The logo will not forget the nickname "The Pencil" as which it is affectionately known from the beginning.
The Auditorium Maurice Ravel is a theatre and concert venue. This is the Lyon National Orchestra residence hall that previously used the Salle Rameau.
Built in prestressed concrete like many surrounding buildings, the auditorium is a resolutely modern scallop shell. The project management has evolved during the construction, the building has a certain eclecticism.
Arch. Charles Delfante and Henry Pottier
1972-75.
