Departure from the town hall of Caluire-et-Cuire. It is best to park in the Radiant-Bellevue car park, which can be accessed next to the town hall.
(S/E) With your back to the town hall, turn left onto Rue Jean Moulin.
(1) Turn right at the first street after the post office, Rue Berthelot. At the end, cross Avenue Marc Sangnier and climb up the Dombes Greenway.
(2) Turn left and follow the Voie Verte for about 1.3 km, heading north-east.
(3) Leave the Voie Verte via the steps on the left before the bridge over the Voie. At the crossroads, turn right onto Chemin Jean Petit. Turn right onto Avenue du Général de Gaulle, then immediately left onto Chemin du Charroi. At the end, turn left onto Chemin de la Combe. Take the third right, still on Chemin de la Combe, which is a steep descent. Continue along the path. At a fork, take the left, walk alongside a wood and then turn right to reach the banks of the Saône.
(4) Turn right and walk along the Saône on your left. Cross the river via the Pont Paul Bocuse (the first bridge you come to). At the roundabout, take Rue du Pont de Collonges opposite. Go under the railway line, then at the intersection, climb the stairs on the other side of the street and continue up Rue des Gelives.
(5) Turn right towards Collonges-centre, Rue César Paulet. Ignore Rue de l'Épine on your right, then turn right onto Rue de la Mairie.
(6) Opposite the Notre-Dame du Grand-Port church (sign on the façade), turn left onto a small path. You will pass a series of streets lined with beautiful houses: Chemin des Grandes Balmes, then Chemin de Chantemâle on the right. Cross the Route de Saint-Romain (D89) and continue along Rue Gayet.
(7) Turn left onto Rue Montgelas. The climb ends at an intersection: turn left onto Chemin des Hautes Varilles. After 200 metres, at a fork, take the left path downhill.
(8) About 150 metres further down, turn right. The path offers beautiful views of the valley and then gradually of the city of Lyon. Join Chemin du Couter, which turns left after crossing Chemin du Cèdre.
(9) Take Rue Cote Blatterie opposite, then Rue de Nervieux, which gradually descend to the D89. Turn right and follow the road for about 250 metres.
(10) At the first crossroads, turn left onto Chemin de Grave, lined with beautiful properties. The peaceful countryside of this valley hides the fact that you are already in Lyon... Ignore a small street on the left and continue along Rue Claude le Laboureur.
(11) You will come out onto Rue des Docteurs Cordier. Turn left and follow the road downhill to the railway bridge. Once you have crossed the bridge, turn right and then right again onto Grande Rue de Saint-Rambert.
(12) Just before Rue Clavière on the right, take a passage on the left that leads to Quai Raoul Carrié. Turn right and walk along the Saône on your left. Immediately on your left, take the Pont de l'Ile Barbe bridge to cross the two arms of the Saône. At the end of the bridge, turn left onto Quai Clemenceau and immediately turn left onto the stairs leading to the promenade under the quay (beautiful view of Ile Barbe).
(13) Turn right to follow the Saône on your left. Go back up Quai Clemenceau at the rowing club and continue in the same direction (north-east). Then turn right onto Montée Victor Hugo and climb gradually. At a right-hand bend, leave the street and take the small pedestrian ramp opposite. Continue to Place Gouailhardou (Jean Moulin Museum). At the next crossroads, turn right onto Rue Jean Moulin.
(1) At the junction you took at the very beginning, continue straight on to the town hall (S/E).
