Rhône

Lyon is unique in that it lies at the confluence of two major rivers, the Rhone and the Saone. This has made the town particularly appealing to tourists, with an older, hillier area around the Saône and another more modern cityscape near the Rhône, on land that was formerly characterized by large swamps.

The Rhône river 812 km long from its source to the St. Gotthard in Swiss Alps to plunge into the Mediterranean Sea in the Camargue. Its course is marked by its geographically natural crossing of Lake Geneva to the French-Swiss border, humanly by the presence of Lyon, the regional capital, and economically by the presence of hydro-electric dams, several nuclear-hungry cooling water and by inland navigation which is now Lyon 1 inland port french. It is also marked by a fairly large impetuosity which caused many floods which some very important, the history of Lyon.

The more recent period was marked first by road or motorway (A7) and parking lots and more recently by a large proposed development banks oriented towards the discovery of nature, craft, recreation.

A greenway is created along the left bank of the Rhone between the bridge Raymond Poincaré and the entrance to the Parc de Gerland. The greenway, which extends from the 6th arrondissement (69006) to the 7th arrondissement (69007) through the 3rd (69,003), is assigned exclusively to the movement of non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians. It also serves as an access to the barges "accommodation" barges "activities" and vessels "cruise" that mark. This arrangement of the Rhone was an opportunity for the city of Lyon to develop the "Mirror of women over the water" whose objective is to support the dynamic Lyonnais European citizen.

For this the project was to give banks and turned the names of twelve women who have helped shape the identity and culture. From Marlene Dietrich to Ellen MacArthur, by way of Melina Mercouri for Greece or for Anna Lindh Sweden, twelve plates, which pay tribute along the 5 km of shoreline were inaugurated on 9 May 2007, Day of Europe and the opening of the Berges du Rhône.

On the river itself many barges are cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues that attract tourists and Lyonnais.
