Quick ride by bicycle from Vaulx-en-Velin to Bron

This ride takes you from Vaulx-en-Velin—famous for its Parc de Miribel Jonage and diverse neighborhoods—straight down to Bron, a lively suburb just southeast of Lyon. It’s a little under 10 km and will probably take you just over an hour at a leisurely pace. You’ll spend much of the route on proper cycleways (more than half!) and the roads you do use are generally quiet, making this a pretty chill ride.

The route stays nearly flat (minimal ascent and descent), so it's friendly for every level of cyclist. Expect smooth sailing for most of the way, though about 10% of the path is gravel—nothing too wild, but something to keep in mind if you’re on skinny tires. The last stretch leads you into Bron, known for its greenery, cozy local shops, and the huge Parc de Parilly, perfect for a post-ride breather.

Grab a coffee or a pastry at a local boulangerie—you've earned it!
