After a few days that felt almost spring-like, snow has made a striking comeback in the Lyonnais mountains. During the night from Wednesday to Thursday, flakes returned to the Lyonnais and Beaujolais hills, blanketing the scenery just a few kilometers from the city. It's a little refreshing reminder that late March can still hold a few surprises.
In Yzeron, Montrottier, and over by Monsols, the landscape changed in just a few hours, offering panoramas worthy of January... but featuring trees already ready for spring. The contrast is striking, almost cinematic.

Drivers are encouraged to stay cautious, especially on t&.It’s either in the morning or at the end of the day when temperatures drop. So, no chaos to report, but this little episode reminds us that during this time of year, the weather can throw us a curveball without warning.
The return of the snow is part of a larger cooling trend expected across the entire region.

This weather pattern is expected to continue in the coming days, with the mercury plummeting and a distinctly wintery feel, even though the calendar (theoretically) says it’s spring.
