With its 154 shops it became the biggest urban shopping centre in Europe. In 2000, the mall building was regenerated for the first time with the creation of windows, because people thought it needed to be open to the outside. <newcolumn>{{:start:1-france:a-research:01-lyon:lyon_part_dieu.jpg?150 |}}Then in 2009, the first floor was redeveloped to create a space for relaxation and a new generation of restaurants. A year later, the Cours Oxygène and the Oxygène Tower were built twenty-five new shops and a new car park with 495 parking spaces were added to the Part-Dieu. This project created 250 new jobs. These days, the Part-Dieu is at the heart of the new Lyon: a human, commercial and business crossroads. There is even an events policy for kids and adults, in response to the needs of its urban clientele, which is a symbol of quality, innovation and modernity. The mall, with its thirty-two million visitors annually, still remains very popular despite the launch of a rival mall at the Confluence area of Lyon.</columns> | + | <columns 100% 43% 57%>{{:start:1-france:a-research:01-lyon:part-dieu_mall.jpg?120 |}}The shopping mall was opened in September 1975.

| - | {{:start:1-france:a-research:01-lyon:lyon-part-dieu-station.jpg?200 |}}It is very easy to get to the Part-Dieu, especially by public transport, that is to say, trams (the lines T1, T2, T3, T4), buses and the subway. Indeed, many bus and tram lines have their terminus at the Part-Dieu and line B of the subway goes through the Part-Dieu CBD. And there is also the large Part-Dieu railway station, which opened its doors in 1983 and which is right next to the shopping centre: today it is Lyon's main railway station. Indeed, it is the number one station for passenger connections in Europe, with HST (High Speed Trains) going to major European and other French cities. | + | {{:start:1-france:a-research:01-lyon:lyon-part-dieu-station.jpg?350 |}}It is very easy to get to the Part-Dieu, especially by public transport, that is to say, trams (the lines T1, T2, T3, T4), buses and the subway.
