Parks · Left bank of the Rhône, citywide
About five kilometres of landscaped riverside promenades running from Parc de la Tête d'Or south to Confluence, with paved paths, green strips, benches and public fountains. It is Lyon's everyday dog-walking artery.
The wide, flat promenade with grass strips and water fountains is perfect for long, easy walks at any hour.
Dogs must be leashed on the Berges du Rhône, as in all Lyon public spaces outside designated dog zones; owners must pick up waste. There is no published closing time as it is an open public quay.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
