Île Roy, River island in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or and Fontaines-sur-Saône, France.
Île Roy spans across the Saône River between two municipalities, featuring dense tree coverage and natural walking paths along its shores.
In 1785, Île Roy was part of the Isles de Joussoux complex, consisting of four islands and two gravel deposits owned by Lyon's noble counts.
The island functions as an environmental education site where visitors learn about local wildlife and sustainable ecosystem management practices.
Pedestrian paths from both Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or and Fontaines-sur-Saône provide direct access to explore the island's natural environment.
The island maintains populations of European beavers, kingfishers, and stock doves, creating a natural sanctuary within an urban setting.
