Nice view of this island which is part of the 9th arrondissement of Lyon. To the north, there are private dwellings. In the center of the island, you can distinguish the old abbey.

The island can be visited and you can even take advantage of the hostel for lunch or refreshment.

Île Barbe, on the Saône, has been part of the territory of the commune of Lyon since 1963. The first hermits sought solitude there, but as early as the 5th century an abbey was founded, one of the oldest in France. . It was most famous in Carolingian times, then from the 12th century. When it fell into decline, the cult of the Virgin replaced monastic practices there, attracting large crowds of pilgrims to the Church of Notre-Dame until the 19th century, which was spared from destruction [Which ones?]. Some vestiges remain of the ancient splendors but they are on private land and their visit is very regulated. The charm of the place has not ceased to seduce painters [Which?] since the 18th century, while three rowing clubs established their bases in the immediate vicinity from the end of the 19th century.
