This green walkway along the Saône River, facing the Vieux Lyon, in the Saint-Antoine area, promises a new relaxation space. In addition, the pedestrianization of the Presqu'île continues with new streets affected this year, in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements of Lyon. Fifteen streets will become permanently pedestrianized by 2025.
