Hop on your bike in Villeurbanne, a lively suburb just northeast of Lyon, and roll towards Caluire-et-Cuire for an easy urban escape. This 11 km ride snakes mostly along paved cycleways and quiet roads—think smooth pedaling with very little traffic fuss. The route does climb a bit (about 118 meters total ascent), but you’ll be rewarded with fresh air and a little leg workout!

Start by weaving through Villeurbanne’s mix of residential neighborhoods and leafy parks, then track north-west, skirting the edges of Lyon’s famous Parc de la Tête d'Or—worth a short detour if you have time. As you approach Caluire-et-Cuire, the scenery shifts to peaceful streets and a more laid-back vibe. Caluire-et-Cuire sits just above the Rhône and Saône rivers, making it a popular residential area with great river views.

Nearly half the route is smooth cycleway, so you can just cruise and soak up the city sights. Don’t forget to grab a pastry or coffee when you arrive—Caluire-et-Cuire has some charming local spots to chill after your ride!

Monts d'Or Attack #1

Cycling route in Villeurbanne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

Un parcours "d'après-taf" spécialement étudié pour se défouler et faire un max de dénivelé sans trop s'éloigner de Lyon (au cas où!). La montée de Vassieux n'est qu'une petite mise en jambe, puis on redescend sur le val de Saône pour attaquer la première vraie difficulté, le Mont Thou par St Romai…
