The 3rd arrondissement is one of the nine arrondissements (boroughs) of Lyon . It lies on the left bank of the Rhône and is the most populous arrondissement in the city.

history

Until 1852, the 3rd arrondissement was on the territory of the municipality of La Guillotière , which administratively belonged to the Isère department . It is one of the five arrondissements created by a presidential decree of March 24, 1852, after La Guillotière was incorporated into Lyon and henceforth part of the Rhone department . At that time, the 3rd arrondissement comprised the entire area of ​​Lyon, which was on the left bank of the Rhône (today the 3rd, 6th, 7th and 8th arrondissement). At that time there was still little development and 4/5 was used for agriculture. A law of July 17, 1867 divided the arrondissement, with the detached part becoming the 6th arrondissement . When the 7th arrondissement was created by law of March 8, 1912 , the 3rd arrondissement was given its current form.

geography

The 3rd arrondissement covers an area of ​​6.4 km². Around 1/3 of Lyon's jobs are concentrated in the central commercial and service district Quartier de la Part-Dieu .
