2 Vallées

Les 2 Vallées is an enclosed shopping centre in Givors, in the Rhône, approximately 20 kilometres south of Lyon at the confluence of the Rhône and the Gier valley. It serves the southern Lyon industrial catchment — including Givors, Grigny and the Rhône corridor communes — as a local convenience and grocery destination. Carrefour anchors the grocery component. The centre occupies the main commercial position for a catchment shaped by industrial and port activity along the southern Rhône axis.

The retail mix covers standard local convenience categories: fashion, services, opticians and food alongside the Carrefour grocery anchor. The scheme serves a catchment with above-average industrial employment relative to the wider Lyon metropolitan area, reflecting the petrochemical and logistics activity concentrated along the Rhône corridor south of the city.

Road access is via the A7 motorway at the Givors exit, which connects the site to Lyon in the north and to the Vallée du Rhône corridor south toward Vienne and Valence. Local bus connections serve the surrounding Givors communes. The centre is the primary enclosed retail option for a catchment that lacks the regional mall provision of central Lyon.

Les 2 Vallées occupies a local-convenience role for the Givors catchment rather than a regional destination function. The industrial character of the surrounding communes — historically tied to glassmaking and chemical production — shapes a demand profile oriented toward necessity and value retail rather than fashion or lifestyle categories.
