Description
The 3rd constituency of the Rhône includes parts of Lyon to the south of the city centre. Since 2015 this constituency has been part of the Lyon Metropolis and therefore outside of the Rhône for administrative purposes.
In common with the neighbouring Rhône's 2nd constituency this seat swung to the left in 2007 after many years of electing conservative deputies. Jean-Louis Touraine retained the constituency in 2017 after switching parties to En Marche! from the Socialist Party.[3]
