Towards Île de Barbe

Saône Riverbanks

Highlight • Other

Directly next to the path rises the massive riverbank fortification. The massive structure appears much more welcoming thanks to the small, yet beautiful, colorful sculptures that are set into the wall at regular intervals.

Parc de la Tête d'Or and Feysine

Highlight • Other

A great place for a jog or a brisk run. There's little elevation gain. Head out of Parc de la Tête d'Or to Parc de la Feyssine and run in a more varied environment.
