Set course for Île Barbe

Once inhabited by druids, Île Barbe or Insula Barbarica (literally ‘barbarian island’) was the site where one of Lyon’s most powerful abbeys was founded in the fifth century, the remains of which are still visible in the hamlet today.
A very pleasant place for a walk, and a centre of local legends, Île Barbe now welcomes curious strollers in a green, medieval setting.

From the banks of Rochetaillée-sur-Saône, just next to Lyon, Go Captain offers boats for rental, with no license required, to discover the mysteries of Île Barbe.

Savour its beauty before heading back to the shores of Rochetaillée-sur-Saône.
