Villeurbanne walks

Easy walk. Public transport is available nearby at the start and along the second part of the route, allowing you to shorten or extend this walk.

This urban yet bucolic walk allows you to discover the wild banks of the Rhône, the new Passerelle de la Paix footbridge, the Croix-Rousse tunnel in a gentle way, the newly developed banks of the Saône and the market garden plateau that supplies the city. The starting point is indicative. The walk can begin and end at virtually any point along the route.

Hike through the heart of Lyon to discover the city.

A semi-urban walk between the Rhône quay and the plateau, to see another side of Caluire-et-Cuire and Rillieux-la-Pape.

Hike to discover the balmes (caves) of the Saône, cross the valleys and hills of the rich properties of the Mont-d'Or communes and return via Ile Barbe before climbing back up to the Jean Moulin Museum.

Starting from the heights of Cuire, this route first takes us past a viewpoint with sweeping panoramic views, then along the pleasant Balcon de Saint-Clair. After a steep descent, we cross the Rhône and stroll past modern sculptures. Crossing the Parc de la Tête d'Or is an opportunity to admire a renowned rose garden and visit the Île du Souvenir (when accessible). Finally, we climb steep stairs to return to the starting point.

The aim of the route is to stroll through a few streets in the city of Lyon, between the north of the Presqu'île (Place des Terreaux) and the plateau of the Colline de la Croix-Rousse, while enjoying beautiful views (on the Rhône and Saône sides) at times.

Ce circuit permet de découvrir le centre lyonnais ainsi que les quartiers de Fourvière, Vieux-Lyon et Croix-Rousse, avec une descente de Croix-Rousse par quelques traboules.

This route allows you to walk along the banks of the Saône on the way there and the Rhône on the way back. Along the way, we will enjoy the sights of the peninsula (the writers' wall, the Lyonnais wall, Place des Terreaux, the town hall, the opera house). Halfway through, we will walk around the Parc de la Tête d'Or.

An easy walk through Lyon via the Saint-Jean district, up to Notre-Dame-de-Fourvière, the Saint-Georges district and, finally, near the traboules, these narrow passages between the houses of the Saint-Jean district (see the websites for guided tours). A visit to the Roman amphitheatres is included, as well as a stop at the Jardin des Curiosités, a little green gem with one of the most beautiful views of Lyon. Departure from Place Bellecour.

Stroll through the Tony Garnier open-air museum. The beautiful buildings of the Cité des États-Unis serve as a backdrop for the architect's plans for his ideal city of Lyon. Other street arts, colorful and symbolist, extrapolate this concept to other countries.

A beautiful winter walk in a park entirely dedicated to leisure activities. Please note: Several reports indicate that it is not possible to walk around the lake

For several years now, Lyon's Confluence district, in the wake of the construction of the museum, has been undergoing a major transformation. Here, it is invited to discover its new face, where modernity meets history, in the exceptional setting of the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.

Take a journey through time, from Romanesque architecture to Neo-Byzantine style, via Gothic, of course, and discover the churches of Lyon's 2nd and 5th arrondissements. The itinerary also takes in many other treasures of Lyon's heritage.

A lovely walk through the parks of south-east Lyon, starting from the Mermoz/Pinel metro station.
