Forecourt of Lyon-Brotteaux station.
<p>
In pre-TGV days, this station would primarily cater for traffic between Strasburg/Geneva/North Alps (via Culoz) and Lyon-Perrache/The South.
<br>
At the outset of the TGV Age (27/09/1981), TGVs would also call there, on their way between Paris and Lyon-Perrache/St-Etienne.
<br>
On 13/06/1983, it eventually closed down, and was replaced with the newly-built station of Part-Dieu (located some 500m further South), which itself got most of the North-South traffic hitherto accommodated at Lyon-Perrache.
<br>
The Metro station is located right underneath the forecourt.
