Quick ride by bicycle from Bron to Villeurbanne

This leisurely 7.5 km ride takes you from Bron, a lively suburb to the east of Lyon known for its historic Fort de Bron and proximity to Parc de Parilly, to Villeurbanne, a vibrant neighboring city famous for its art deco architecture and dynamic student vibe.

You'll be cruising mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—ideal for a chill, safe pedal—while taking in the urban scenery. The route is almost entirely flat with just a smidge of climbing, so you don’t need to worry about any serious hills.

Most of your time will be spent rolling over smooth asphalt, with brief sections of concrete. Expect a pleasant mix of residential and leafy areas, and keep your eyes open for street art and cool local cafés once you reach Villeurbanne.

It’s a perfect ride for city explorers or anyone looking for a quick, easy cycling escape between two of Greater Lyon’s most interesting spots!
