View of the Côte-Rôtie Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the banks of the Rhone itself, the slope steepens to offer the vines an environment conducive to their development. How pleasant it is to pedal on the flat, at the water's edge, and to admire the beautiful colors of the vineyards below.

Butter Island

Highlight (Segment) • Other

It is a small bird sanctuary and you can observe in peace from the "Centre d'Observation de la Nature de l'Île du Beurre", right next to the island, and inform yourself about flora and fauna from information boards.

Condrieu Suspension Bridge

Highlight • River

The Condrieu suspension bridge spans the Rhône between the towns of Condrieu in the Rhône department and Les Roches-de-Condrieu in the Isère department. The suspension bridge consists of two spans separated by a central concrete pylon forming an arch, in which the metal suspension cables are anchored. The entrance to the bridge is marked by two concrete pylons that receive the cables on the banks. These are connected to the deck by hangers. The deck, with its metal frame and reinforced concrete cover slab, carries a two-lane, two-way roadway, bordered by sidewalks lined with guardrails.
The current Condrieu bridge is the second bridge to be built at this location; it replaces an earlier structure constructed in 1832 and declared to be in very poor condition in 1929. The 1934 work was barely completed when the bridge was closed in June 1940 due to an act of war. A cable ferry was put back into service to restore the river crossing. In spring 2025, due to structural weaknesses, the bridge was closed to traffic for several months while new cables were installed and reinforcement work was carried out.

ViaRhôna Bike Rest Area and Facilities, Condrieu

Highlight • Rest Area

Currently not in operation, had to spend the night on February 21-22, 2025. Unfortunately I couldn't sleep well because my tarpaulin was so loud. Otherwise great place to sleep, toilet available and clean, if necessary you could sleep in the toilet.
