River cruises
A tour of the city with Lyon’s famous Vaporetto

Discover Lyon from the water!

The Vaporetto, Lyon’s famous boat-bus, takes you up and down the Saône as you discover the city in an original way.
This green transport mode will take you to the city centre, Vieux-Lyon (Old Lyon), Vaise and all the way down to the Confluence district where the Saône meets the Rhône!

The boat will take you past Vieux-Lyon, to admire Fourvière Basilica and gaze at the slopes of Croix-Rousse Hill... Take in the amazingly colourful façades and the impressively redeveloped Confluence district!
Would you like to take a stroll through the narrow paved streets of Vieux-Lyon, or go shopping in the Confluence Leisure Centre? You can choose from the four stops that the Vaporetto goes past.

- Times leaving from Bellecour towards Vaise: : 1:50pm, 3:10pm, 4:30pm and 5:50pm.
- Times leaving from Bellecour towards Confluence: 2:30pm, 3:50pm, 5:10pm and 6:30pm.
- From April to October, the Vaporetto runs from Wednesday to Sunday.
- During school holidays in France’s ‘zone A’, the Vaporetto runs every day of the week
