What are the best places to visit in Lyon on a Segway?

At Mobilboard, we're in the business of showing people around the city in a different way, thanks to soft mobility. We take you on a variety of urban adventures to discover Lyon. Here are some of our favorite places to visit on your Segway rental.

The banks of the Rhône

This is a must on all our Segway tours. The banks of the Rhône are 7 kilometers long! This landscaped promenade is a greenway where the famous ViaRhôna runs between Geneva and the Mediterranean.

Parc de la Tête d'Or

One of our favorite spots! With its 114 hectares of greenery, it's Lyon's "green lung". Take a Segway tour of the park, passing through the tropical greenhouses and past the animal park.

The banks of the Saône

One of Lyon's great advantages is the river that runs through it. You're bound to fall under the spell of the quays of the Saône. Between the footbridges, the charm of the colorful buildings on both banks and a pause at Vieux-Lyon, you'll be able to enjoy a Segway or other ride along the Saône.

La Confluence

This is one of Lyon's most unusual districts. Accessible via the Presqu'île, the Berges du Rhône or the quays of the Saône, it's the "end of the world" for the people of Lyon! It's a former industrial zone totally reconverted into an eco-neighborhood. You'll also find remnants of this past in the cranes and warehouses of the old port of Lyon, or those of the old Marché-Gare.
