The map
Vaulx-en-Velin lies on the eastern edge of the Lyon metropolis, on the flat plain beyond Villeurbanne. Its northern boundary follows the Canal de Jonage, a long, straight waterway built for hydroelectric power. Beyond the canal lies the Grand Parc Miribel-Jonage, a large area of lakes, woods and islands along the Rhône that the map shows as mostly open, watery space.
The town grew rapidly in the postwar decades, and large housing estates still define much of its layout. Major urban renewal projects have been reshaping the centre since the 1990s. Vaulx-en-Velin is also home to two higher-education schools, the ENTPE engineering school and Lyon's national school of architecture, as well as a planetarium.
A Vaulx-en-Velin map poster shows the meeting of a dense suburb and a large natural space. There are the straight lines of the canal, the large estate blocks and the older village streets. The soft outlines of the lakes to the north add a completely different texture.
The long, straight canal forms the town's northern edge, a strong single line that clearly separates the streets from the park.
Lakes, channels and woodland spread along the Rhône to the north, shown as broad, open shapes that balance the dense suburb.
Large housing complexes of the postwar period form big, angular shapes across the town, a recognisable feature of the map.

Why Vaulx-en-Velin
People who grew up or studied in Vaulx-en-Velin often feel a strong attachment to it, and the map shows it as a place in its own right, not just a corner of Lyon. The canal and lakes make it a striking design.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps with a graduation year or a family name. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Blueprint suits the canal and engineering schools.
