**Perrache Multimodal Hub** (*Centre d'échanges de Perrache* in French), also called Perrache or Lyon-Perrache, is a major [transport hub](/source/Transport_hub) in the [2nd arrondissement](/source/2nd_arrondissement_of_Lyon) of [Lyon](/source/Lyon). It is a large building with five levels, located next to the [Lyon-Perrache railway station](/source/Lyon-Perrache_station) which is directly linked by a pedestrian footbridge.

Named *Perrache* in the [TCL](/source/Transports_en_commun_lyonnais) [urban transit](/source/Public_transport) network, it is a major hub served by [métro line A](/source/Lyon_Metro_Line_A), [tramway](/source/Lyon_tramway) lines [T1](/source/Lyon_tramway#Line_T1) and [T2](/source/Lyon_tramway#Line_T2) and many [bus](/source/Buses_in_Lyon) lines. The building also houses a [coach station](/source/Bus_station) served by regional, national and international coach services. Some shops and restaurants are located inside.

The junction between [metropolitan](/source/Metropolis_of_Lyon) highways [M6](/source/A6_autoroute) and [M7](/source/A7_autoroute) is located under the building.

## History

After the [railway station](/source/Lyon-Perrache_station) opened in June 1857, Perrache became a public transit hub starting from early 20th century, as it became the terminus of many lines of [Lyon original tramway network](/source/Lyon_tramway#History:_the_original_network_(1879_-_1957)).[3] Then, trolleybuses, buses and coaches arrived at Perrache.

On 2 May 1978, the [métro](/source/Lyon_Metro) station opened as well as the new [line A](/source/Lyon_Metro_Line_A).

On 2 January 2001, the new [Lyon tramway](/source/Lyon_tramway) network was launched, with two first lines [T1](/source/Lyon_tramway#Line_T1) and [T2](/source/Lyon_tramway#Line_T2) departing from Perrache. Nowadays, Perrache is no longer the terminus of lines T1 (since 2005) and T2 (since 2021), as they were extended to the [Confluence](/source/Confluence) neighbourhood in the south of [Perrache](/source/Perrache_(quarter)).

On 21 June 2021, the Passage France Pejot has opened, a new way allowing pedestrians and cyclists to pass at ground level under both Perrache Multimodal Hub and [railway station](/source/Lyon-Perrache_station), linking [Place Carnot](/source/Place_Carnot) and [Place des Archives](/source/Place_des_Archives).[4] The same way already existed before but was dedicated to cars.

### Renovation project

On 14 June 2022, the [Metropolis of Lyon](/source/Metropolis_of_Lyon) announced a large renovation project for the whole building of Perrache Multimodal Hub.[5] The whole complex of Perrache, including both Multimodal Hub and railway station, is seen as an urban barrier between northern and southern parts of the neighbourhood. Also, the Multimodal Hub is in itself a barrier between [Place Carnot](/source/Place_Carnot) and [Perrache railway station](/source/Lyon-Perrache_station), as the front of the railway station can't be seen from Place Carnot.

The main aim of the project is to create a direct link for pedestrians between [Place Carnot](/source/Place_Carnot) and [Perrache railway station](/source/Lyon-Perrache_station) at ground level, instead of getting upstairs in the Multimodal Hub to get in the railway station. This direct link will be created by demolishing a part of the Multimodal Hub, permitting the creation of a wide covered passage at ground level through the Multimodal Hub. The Multimodal Hub will remain in place above and on both sides of the passage. This new passage will be surrounded by shops, restaurants and a hotel.[1]

Renovation works should begin in 2024 and take place until 2028.[6]
