Passerelle de la Paix, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Lyon, France

The Passerelle de la Paix is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge spanning the Rhône River with two separate levels. The upper level accommodates both walkers and cyclists while the lower pathway serves pedestrians only.

The project was first conceived in 1994 but stalled over a legal dispute about the primary contractor. It was revived in 2009 with a design by Austrian architect Dietmar Feichtinger and engineer Alain Ranvier. Construction began in March 2012, the bridge was named Passerelle de la Paix on 22 October 2012, and it opened to the public on 17 March 2014.

The name was chosen by the municipal council on 22 October 2012 to stand for intercultural harmony, since the Saint-Clair district on the Caluire-et-Cuire side has a large immigrant population. The bridge links the Cité Internationale with Place Basse Demonchy in Parc Saint-Clair.

The crossing has two decks: the upper one carries both pedestrians and cyclists, the lower one is reserved for pedestrians. The wooden decking was replaced after it became slippery in rain in 2019, so the surface now stays usable in wet weather. The bridge links the Cité Internationale in Lyon's 6th arrondissement with Place Basse Demonchy in Parc Saint-Clair, Caluire-et-Cuire.

The bridge has two decks: a 217-metre upper section shared by pedestrians and cyclists, and a 156-metre lower section reserved for pedestrians. Its dark grey steel tube with flat vertical fins and diagonal struts runs between the two plank walkways. In 2019, premature ageing of the wooden decking made it impassable in rain until repairs by the Métropole de Lyon that July.
