The Yzeron valley between Francheville and Craponne

Woods and a river in the city! It's hard to find a wooded area that's both close to Lyon and large enough for several hours of walking.The paved sections are very limited, and you walk mainly in a steep-sided valley, along the water's edge, namely the Yzeron stream, and under the trees the whole time. This makes it ideal during hot weather.The route is mostly flat, apart from the loop on Findez hill.For those who are allergic to asphalt and don't want to go too far, this valley nestled between Craponne and Francheville is a good option.
