Wednesday Walk challenge : Passerelle du Collège, Lyon (France)
For this new Wednesday Walk Challenge hosted by @tattoodjay, I propose a little walk in Lyon (France) on the Passerelle du Collège which allows pedestrians to cross the river Rhône and go to the downtown Lyon.
Pour ce nouveau Wednesday Walk Challenge organisé par @tattoodjay, je vous propose une petite balade à Lyon sur la Passerelle du Collège qui permet de traverser pour les piétons le Rhône et d'aller sur la presque ile lyonnaise.
Crossing the suspension bridge, you have a superb view of the hill and the Croix Rousse beautiful district of the same name . The quayside is beautifully landscaped, with a cycle path, a jogging one, children's play areas, and a few armchairs to relax on hot summer days and enjoy the coolness of the river.
En traversant ce pont suspendu, on a une superbe vue sur la colline et le quartier du même nom de la Croix Rousse. Les quais sont superbement aménagés avec une piste cyclable, une autre pour courir, des jeux pour enfants, et quelques fauteuils pour se reposer lors des chaudes journées d'été en profitant de la fraicheur du fleuve.
Two maps, the first to help everyone locate the city of Lyon in France, and the second to pinpoint the location of the Passerelle du Collège in the city.
Deux cartes, la première pour que tout le monde situe la ville de Lyon en France et la seconde pour indiquer précisément l'emplacement de la la Passerelle du Collège.

We're going to cross the Passerelle to get to the almost-island of Lyon on Quai Jean Moulin. For the record, the footbridge was built in 1844 to provide easier access to the school for students. And also there was a serious accident almost at the end of construction, when the footbridge fell into the river, killing several workers.
Nous allons traverser la Passerelle pour aller sur la presque île de Lyon du Quai Jean Moulin. Pour l'histoire, la passerelle a été construite en 1844 pour permettre aux élèves du collège d'accéder plus facilement à leur école. Il y a eu un grave accident presque à la fin des travaux entrainant la chute de la passerelle dans le fleuve et la mort de plusieurs travailleurs.
The Quai Jean Moulin offers superb views of the city of Lyon from both sides, with the barges moored to the quay. Some of the barges have been converted into bars and restaurants, perfect spot to have fun the evenings. On the other side, you can see the Croix-Rousse hill, a neighborhood full of StreetArt 😀. I'll be writing a post or two soon to show you all this.
Sur le Quai Jean Moulin, on a une superbe vue des deux côtés sur la ville de Lyon avec les péniches amarrées au quai. Il y a certaines péniches qui ont été transformées en bar ou restaurant. De l'autre côté, on peut voir la colline de la Croix-Rousse, quartier rempli de StreetArt 😀. Il va bientôt avoir un post ou deux pour vous montrer tout cela.
Even on the quay, there are already a few StreetArt works, including this mosaic straight out of the Mario Bross universe. Right next to it, there's this ladder that lets you see how high the Rhône rises. Apparently, it often reaches 6 meters.
Même sur le quai, il y a déjà quelques petites œuvres StreetArt dont cette mosaïque tout droit sorti de l'univers Mario Bross. Juste à côté, il y a cette échelle qui permet de voir les crues du Rhône. Il semblerait qu'il atteint souvent les 6 mètres. Tout le quai est alors sous l'eau.
The Passerelle du Collège was destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt identically in 1945. This plaque 🔼 reminds us of this on the last pillar as we reach the Collège-lycée Ampère, founded in 1519. It only took its current name in 1888.
La Passerelle du Collège a été détruite lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et reconstruite à l'identique en 1945. Cette plaque 🔼 le rappelle sur le dernier pilier en arrivant au niveau du Collège-lycée Ampère, fondé en 1519. Il a pris son nom actuel seulement en 1888.
Inside the school, you can see the footbridge between the arches of this alley, which leads to the center of Lyon. I hope you enjoyed this walk over the Rhône. Happy Wednesday Walk challenge to all!
A l'intérieur du Collège, on peut apercevoir la passerelle entre les arches de cette ruelle qui permet de rejoindre le centre de Lyon. J'espère que vous avez appréciez cette balade au dessus du Rhône. Bon Wednesday Walk challenge à tous.

Thanks for the addition.

This passerella looks really a charming and relaxing place for having a walk , I bet in the evening it's even more romantic 😍
It's true that it's a lovely walk, especially along the quays on a fine summer's day, then across the footbridge to the Croix-Rousse for an ice cream (Unico, very good ones 😋).
Have a lovely day
Great pics 👍 very cool bridge. I love walkways like the last picture. Pedestrian walkways and bridges are always interesting. Nice to see parts of the world have resisted the cult of the car.
It's really Lyon's city center, elsewhere the car is still omnipresent, although since the election of an ecologist mayor, there are more and more bicycle lanes.
Enjoy your day
