Lyon Day Tours

Capital of the Gauls

At the scenic confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon is one of France’s most captivating destinations. Known for its elegant architecture, rich culinary traditions, and lively cultural scene, Lyon offers visitors a fascinating blend of history and modern life.

A Lyon bike tour is one of the best ways to experience the city’s diverse neighborhoods and riverfront landscapes. With an extensive network of bike paths and scenic routes along the rivers, cycling provides a relaxed and immersive way to discover the highlights of France’s third-largest city.

Riders may cycle through the Renaissance streets of Vieux Lyon, visit the expansive Place Bellecour, and ride toward the hilltop views of Fourvière. Scenic routes also pass through the beautiful Parc de la Tête d’Or, one of France’s largest urban parks.

Cyclists can follow picturesque paths along both the Rhône and Saône rivers, ride through the lively Presqu’île district, and explore the redeveloped waterfront areas near Confluence Marina and Rambaud Wharf. Some tours can even be combined with food tastings and a relaxing river cruise along the Saône.
