The event in a few words

Lyon Kayak is the perfect opportunity to (re)discover Lyon from the water: you glide between city and nature, with that little sense of adventure right in the middle of an urban setting, without leaving the Rhône 🌊.

You set the pace: the Family Route to share a great time with the kids, the Discovery Route to soak up the scenery and be wowed, or the Sport Route to treat yourself and put in a few solid paddle strokes (promise, it’s fun above all) 🚣‍♂️.

You paddle in the city, but you feel elsewhere, between reflections, riverbanks and viewpoints that change with every bend—in Lyon, you don’t “catch a wave,” you take the Saône! 😄

After you arrive, stick around: go hang out in Confluence for the modern vibe and the quays, cross over to the Presqu’île to stroll between squares and little streets, head up to Fourvière for the view everyone agrees on, or take a turn through Parc de la Tête d’Or if you want to recharge in the greenery 🌳.

And if you’re coming as a duo or with your crew, it’s all set: a little walk along the banks, a souvenir photo on an iconic bridge, then a drink on a terrace in Vieux Lyon to celebrate properly 🍷.
