An IGN map to explore the Rhône

The IGN TOP100 Rhône card is ideal for planning a stay between town, countryside, vineyards, valleys and reliefs. It offers a clear vision of the department and makes it easy to organize trips around Lyon, Beaujolais, the Saône valley and the Monts du Lyonnais.

Thanks to its scale of 1:100,000, it allows you to visualize distances, main roads, access points, hiking routes and cycling routes. Thus, it becomes very useful for building a circuit, preparing for a weekend or connecting several sites in the same day.

This new map with departmental division makes it easier to read the territory. It is suitable both for travelers who want to visit the region and for hikers and cyclists who want to prepare their outings with reliable paper support.

Hiking, cycling and tourism around Lyon

The Rhône is a varied destination for lovers of outdoor activities. Near Lyon, the Monts du Lyonnais, the Monts d’Or, the hillsides, villages and small roads offer many possibilities for walks.

For walkers, this map allows you to identify major hiking areas, marked paths and natural areas to explore. She helps choose a route, organize access and prepare an outing program. To precisely follow a trail in the field, however, a local IGN TOP25 map remains more suitable.

For cyclists, it also constitutes a very practical support. The bike routes, secondary roads and local connections allow you to imagine loops, stages or getaways between Lyon, Villefranche-sur-Saône, Beaujolais and the Monts du Lyonnais.

Practical support for organizing your stay

The Rhône IGN TOP100 map allows you to keep an overall view of the department. It helps to easily connect several atmospheres: the Lyon metropolis, the wine-growing landscapes, the villages of Beaujolais, the valleys of the Monts du Lyonnais and the banks of the Saône.

It complements very well a tourist guide, a GPS track or an application. Indeed, its paper format makes it possible to compare several itineraries, to plan variations and to better understand the organization of the territory.

Finally, this card is a simple, reliable and versatile tool for preparing for outings. Whether you go walking, cycling or exploring the region by car, it makes organizing your stay easier and makes you want to get off the main roads.
