Along the Rhône
The river runs along the western edge of the town, and the industrial land between it and the streets forms a band of large, simple shapes on the map.

The map
Saint-Fons lies immediately south of Lyon, on the eastern side of the Rhône. The map is shaped by infrastructure. Along the river are industrial sites, rail yards and a motorway corridor, and to the east are residential neighbourhoods that climb gently away from the valley, with blocks of housing and small streets.
The town is at the heart of what the Lyon area calls the Vallée de la chimie, the chemical valley, a long strip of chemical and industrial plants that runs along the Rhône south of the city. That history of industry and the workers who came for it shaped Saint-Fons, which is now part of the Lyon metropolis.
A Saint-Fons map poster shows a landscape that tourist maps usually leave out. The river, the parallel lines of rail and road, and the large blocks of industrial land create a strong, graphic composition. Next to them, the finer grain of the neighbourhoods adds a human scale. It is an honest map of a working town.
The river runs along the western edge of the town, and the industrial land between it and the streets forms a band of large, simple shapes on the map.
Saint-Fons sits within the Vallée de la chimie, the chain of industrial plants along the Rhône south of Lyon that has defined the area for more than a century.
Rail lines and a motorway run parallel to the river, adding long straight strokes that separate the industrial zone from the residential streets.
