Events calendar Lyon 2nd 69002

In its long journey between Lac Léman and the Mediterranean, Via Rhôna passes through your home! Linking Lyon to the amusement park of Miribel-Jonage in Vaulx-en-Velin, this section of 23 km comes in several sub-sections with varying coating quality. You start your tour by a cycle path opening onto Gerland, before continuing it by the banks of the Rhône over kilometres. Continue to the Lyon's Cité Internationale, and finally reach Grand Park, your arrival point. Let less sporty visitors be reassured: if you do not feel up to visit it in its entirety, this greenway can easily be segmented.

Price: free.

Distance: 23 km (or part only).

Difficulty: easy.

Because Lyonnais and visitors alike forget that Lyon is a city of water, crossed by two great rivers, the Rhône and the Saône, the City of Lyon has put water at the center of a festival. At the beginning of July, the second edition will take place - the first having been a real success - of an event with a particularly rich program, with numerous free outdoor activities for all publics. Look out for the famous Mâchecroute, a sea monster, returning to the waters of the Rhône near the Guillotière bridge!

The idea of mountain biking in the city was born in 1995 with Bike in Lyon. 29 years later, the Lyon Free Bike is a not-to-be-missed event, with over 8,000 mountain bikers criss-crossing the streets of Lyon on a course that changes with each edition, with loops for all levels. It's a family-friendly event where everyone can find a course to suit their level: from the XL to the Discovery course, not forgetting the Rouler pour elles solidarity ride, open to men, to fight women's cancers.
