A riverside parking area suitable for overnight stays, with traffic and bus noise. The entrance is narrow, vehicles are limited to 7 meters long, there is no height restriction, and it opens from around 7:00 AM. Parking is prohibited when the river is high. The main tourist area and restaurants are about 20 minutes away on foot, but vehicle break-ins have been reported.

Downhill from the traffic lights, so hidden away from the road. About a 20-minute walk to the main tourist area and restaurants.
A great place to spend the night directly on the Saône (not the Rhône), with a view of illuminated Lyon, if you stay in the vehicle. Our camper was also broken into immediately. There were no signs of forced entry; everything had been searched, but nothing was damaged. Little was stolen because valuables were well hidden. We felt safe while sleeping.
We parked on the upper street on a Monday. After three hours, somebody broke into the car, which was parked right in front of the school for music & dance. We assume that the spot was listed by thefts and not by campers, if you check the profile you might understand. Our window was demolished and everything in the car was turned upside down. Luckily, nothing was missing. Avoid the spot, though!
After a difficult situation caused by disorderly parking, we were able to park easily by the water. We stayed there for 24 hours without any problems. A little music in the evening, but otherwise quiet.
Good place to spend the night, lit in the evening.
