About Transbordeur

Le Transbordeur is a modular concert venue housed in a repurposed water-treatment plant in Villeurbanne, just outside Lyon. The complex includes two primary spaces: Le Transbordeur (the main hall) and Le Transbo Club. Since its opening in 1989, the venue has hosted a wide range of international rock and electronic acts, with renovations in 2006 keeping the space modern and flexible. Capacity varies by show: the main hall seats or stands depending on configuration, typically around 1,500 (up to 1,800 after renovations), plus a 450-capacity club space. Whether you’re catching a big-name show or an intimate club night, we’ve got you covered with easy, straightforward access, parking tips, transit options, and nearby stays and dining to complete your night out.

Located at 3 Boulevard de la Bataille de Stalingrad, 69100 Villeurbanne, Le Transbordeur is well connected to Lyon via TCL, with several bus lines and nearby tram/bus stops. This page covers seating info, parking details, transportation options, and a curated list of hotels and restaurants in the Cité Internationale area and beyond to help you plan a smooth visit.

Note: seating configurations are show-dependent and primary configurations tend to be standing for many performances. Fixed, universal seating charts aren’t published for all events. If you’re seeking seats, check the event listing for the specific show to identify available arrangements labeled on the ticket page as great seats or the section you want. For parking, on-site lots are reserved for staff and people with access needs, with the nearest paid public parking at P2 de la Cité Internationale. Transit options include TCL bus lines C1, C5, C23, and PL1, with nearby stops at Cité Internationale Centre de Congrès and Cité Internationale-Transbordeur. When you’re planning an overnight stay, consider Aparthotel Bonheur (about 1.5 km away) and Temporim Residence in the Cité Internationale area, among other nearby hotels. We’ve got you with easy recommendations and verified directions to make your night effortless.
