Saint-Priest

Western Europe

Saint-Priest is a French commune in the Metropolis of Lyon, in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of south-eastern France, lying east of Lyon on the left bank of the Rhone in the alluvial plain of the eastern Lyon area. Its territory covers 2,971 hectares, which makes it the second largest commune of the metropolis after Lyon, and its altitude varies between 189 and 263 metres. It is a suburb of the Lyon agglomeration that hosts the Lyon Technology Park and many industrial and commercial zones. The Cite Berliet, built in 1917 by Marius Berliet beside his factories, is today the seat of Renault Trucks. The tram line T2 links the commune to central Lyon, and it shares the Lyon-Bron business airport with neighbouring Chassieu. The place name appeared in the twelfth century and comes from its patron saint, a bishop of Clermont.
