Rhône Riverbanks

Highlight • River

The banks of the Rhône or quays of the Rhône are a set of roads bordering the Rhône in Lyon. When it arrives in Lyon, the Rhône spreads out on its left bank, forming a backwater - the Vieux Rhône - enclosing an area called L'île de la Pape in the town of Rillieux-la-Pape and joining the bypass canal , the Jonage canal.

Feyssine Park

Highlight • Other

Located 10 minutes from the center of Lyon, the Parc de la Feyssine extends over more than 40 hectares. The park runs along the banks of the Rhône. It is an ideal place for a walk or a bike ride. During the beautiful sunny days you will come across many Lyonnais enjoying the place.

Lots of big puddles on the northern part. To be repeated in drier weather! Apart from that, a nice route that rolls well apart from the little detour via Mas Rillier. Nice single track uphill in this area
