Our best spots with a view | Ars Trévoux Tourist Office: Accommodation, restaurants and events just a stone's throw from Lyon

The banks of the Saône

This is THE favorite spot for our photographers. Here, the mirror effect, more or less clear depending on the waves, reflects the landscapes on the Saône. The passing of a boat or a mother swan with her young… We love it! Our tip: the breathtaking goldens hours at sunrise or sunset! Multi-colored panoramas for which it’s worth getting up earlier or staying up later!

Cibeins Park in Misérieux

Enjoy a bucolic interlude at Parc de Cibeins: a true haven of peace, this wooded park is a remarkable natural heritage. Our tip: from October onwards, the park is decked out in its autumn colors! For us, it’s THE season to take the best picture!
