Sortie rapide à vélo de Lyon à Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon

Get ready for a scenic pedal from the heart of Lyon to the charming hillside suburb of Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon! Your ride covers about 8.4 km – just enough to stretch your legs but short enough to leave you with plenty of energy for a post-ride pastry.

You’ll roll out from bustling Lyon, famous for its beautiful rivers and vibrant Old Town. After heading southwest, the cityscape gives way to quieter roads and leafy paths. The route is pretty forgiving, with a good mix of dedicated cycleways (almost half the ride!) and peaceful roads. You’ll climb about 154 meters along the way, so expect a few steady uphills as you leave the Rhône behind and approach picturesque Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, perched above the city with lovely views and a relaxed village vibe.

Most of the ride is on smooth asphalt, so it's perfect for any bike. Once you arrive, take a moment to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Sainte-Foy and maybe grab a coffee before your (mostly downhill!) ride back to Lyon.
