/// 01. IDENTITY & HISTORY

Identity

A land of passage and trade between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, this region has forged an identity as a crossroads. It combines the bourgeois and entrepreneurial pride of Lyon, capital of Gaul, with the spirit of resistance and technicality of Dauphiné and Ardèche.

The R3 project finally brings together the Metropolis, the Alpine valleys, the Plaine de l'Ain and the Rhone corridor in absolute historical and industrial coherence.
