Falling Fruit is the map that brings together nature lovers, savvy shoppers, and great deals. This collaborative project catalogs public fruit trees around the globe. The idea is simple: avoid waste by collecting ripe fruits that have fallen to the ground, often left behind. With just one click, you can discover where these edible treasures are hiding, and you can even add your own finds.
Free (and local) fruits just steps from your home
In Lyon and its surroundings, about thirty hidden spots are waiting for the curious and hungry. All you need is a basket and a good eye to return home loaded with apples, pears, or cherries depending on the season. The red dots on the map show the available trees, turning your urban stroll into a real fruit treasure hunt.

An ecological and supportive approach
Picking up fallen fruits is also an eco-friendly gesture. Less waste, more sharing, and a rediscovery of natural resources at your fingertips. Falling Fruit is part of a circular economy where everyone can contribute, either online or through the mobile app. It's a lovely way to reconnect with nature without leaving the city!
Before enjoying your finds, make sure to wash and peel your fruits well. Due to urban pollution, a quick rinse is a must for a safe tasting experience. After that, you can dive into homemade fruit compotes, fruity pies, and fresh, vitamin-packed juices.
