Served by the tram, it is connected to the Presqu'île, to the Hôpital Édouard-Herriot and the university campus of Bron.
In May 2007, the library of Bachut called Médiathèque Marguerite Duras was inaugurated, at the Place du 11 November 1918.
During the Second World War, the square of Bachut was extended and the avenue Berthelot enlarged.
The quarter has a mix of low-rise buildings and HLM, which is not conducive to a homogeneous neighborhood life.
Then the municipality, to create a neighborhood center, asked the architect Bourdeix to do a complex including a public hall and a theater: the avenue Berthelot was expanded and the road junction Heyrieux-avenue Jean Mermoz was laid out.
