The new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists over the Rhone in Lyon – la passerelle de la Paix – reveals the landscape and urban changes.
This portion of the river is part of the development of the city to the North. The footbridge links the conference centre ‘Cité Internationale’ and St. Claire as well as two major parks on each side of the river, the Parc de la Tete d’or and the Parc of Saint Claire.
