THE RHÔNE RIVERBANKS In summer or winter, residents of Lyon and tourists like to use the riverbanks to go walking, observe nature and relax. In the center of the city, the Rhône riverbanks offer 5 kms dedicated to urban activity between the Raymond Poincaré bridge (near Villeurbanne – Lyon 6 th district) and the Gerland Park (Lyon 7 th district). By bicycle, on foot or on roller skates, the left riverbank of the Rhône river has been converted by the greater Lyon municipality and offers several recreational and relaxing areas : football fields, playgrounds, deck chairs, slides, etc. All along the pathway, two parallel routes have been designated: the first one is dedicated to walking and wheelchairs, the second one is for bicycles, roller skates and scooters. The Rhône riverbanks invite people to take a breather, meet with other people and relax: Just 5kms from the city center to nature! A bicycle path along the Rhône leads to the Miribel Jonage Park ( in light green at the top right corner of the map ) where several nature-oriented watersports and land-based activities are available throughout the year.
