Berges du Rhône

The guide to the Berges du Rhône traces how a Lyon riverbank once buried under sixteen hundred bumper-to-bumper cars became a run of pétanque lanes, skate bowls and sand courts. You'll hear city engineers argue over where to put the traffic through the early 2000s, and how two underground garages and a 44-million-euro build between 2005 and 2007 cleared the quays. Listen for the locals still arguing boules calls the way Lyonnais always have.
