La Confluence

Highlight • Structure

The district "La Confluence" - literally translated "The Confluence" - is located between the two rivers Rhone and Saône. As the name suggests, right at the mouth. Since 2003, the quarter has been consistently transformed from the commercial and industrial location it used to be into a residential and business district. Architecture enthusiasts can already marvel at this change in many places, for example at the sight of the "Musée des Confluences" or the gigantic, green cube of the TV station Euronews.

This passarelle is for pedestrians; you would have to carry the bike to climb the stairs.
The site of the Saône parade draws on 2.9 km, left bank, a wide curve, portion of the river which constitutes an emblematic, picturesque and historic image of the city of Lyon. The promenade of the Saône parade runs along an environment of great heritage where the history and geography of the city meet. It thus faces the oldest part of the city, Old Lyon, overlooked by the Fourvière hill and runs along the historic heart of the city, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In addition to the Renaissance facades of Old Lyon, the route offers a beautiful point of view on a large number of historic buildings, in particular the primatiale of Saint-Jean, the old Palace of Justice, but also the Basilica of Fourvière, while the shore left, it runs along the quai Saint-Antoine and its daily market (2nd market in Lyon). lesrivesdesaone.com/au-fil-de-leau/promenade-du-defile-de-la-saone

Rhône Riverbanks

Highlight • River

The banks of the Rhône or quays of the Rhône are a set of roads bordering the Rhône in Lyon. When it arrives in Lyon, the Rhône spreads out on its left bank, forming a backwater - the Vieux Rhône - enclosing an area called L'île de la Pape in the town of Rillieux-la-Pape and joining the bypass canal , the Jonage canal.
