Quai Victor-Augagneur

Quai Victor-Augagneur is a two-level riverfront area between two bridges, with the lower level redesigned for foot traffic and cyclists. Restaurants and bars operate from historic barges along the water, offering dining with views across the Rhône River.

The quay was named in 1932 to honor a mayor who led the city in the early 1900s and later served in national government. The site has transformed from an industrial port into a modern place for leisure and recreation.

The area reflects the city's connection to its civic leaders through its name and visible architecture. Visitors see a blend of historical buildings and modern additions that show how the riverfront has evolved as a social gathering space.

The area is easy to walk and has wide paths that work for different visitors, from strollers to cyclists. Multiple access points and open spaces along the water make navigation straightforward.

A protected historic cafe stands along the waterfront as a reminder of earlier times on the riverbank. Visitors can step inside to experience the architectural character preserved from past generations.
