October 11, 2026, Passage à gué de Miribel

The Morlet ford (located near the tailrace and the Miribel canal) is a well-known crossing point for walkers, cyclists, and mountain bikers within the Grand Parc de Miribel-Jonage. It connects sections of paths and tracks between the tailrace, the Morlet area, and the lakes of the large park (such as the Lac des Eaux Bleues).

Le Grand Parc Miribel Jonage is one of the largest peri-urban natural parks in Europe, extending over 2,200 hectares of preserved nature on the outskirts of Lyon. Located on an island formed by the Miribel and Jonage canals, this multifunctional site serves as a green lung for the Lyon agglomeration, a flood control zone for the Rhône, and a strategic drinking water reservoir. It is the essential meeting place for Lyon residents for water activities, cycling, and outdoor relaxation.

The Lac du Grand Large (or Grand-Large reservoir) is an artificial lake of about 150 hectares located in the east of Lyon, straddling the communes of Décines-Charpieu and Meyzieu. Created at the end of the 19th century during the development of the Jonage canal, it historically serves as a reservoir for the Cusset hydroelectric power plant in Villeurbanne. Today, it is one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas in the Lyon metropolitan area.

This rural village, bordered by the Rhône and the spectacular cliffs of Isle Crémieu, has just over 1,200 inhabitants (the Hiérois) and is part of the Balcons du Dauphiné community of municipalities.

Walk that crosses areas where fauna and flora are protected, respect these places: keep your dog on a leash, do not approach animals, do not shout...
