Lyon 25, Skateboarding spot and stairs at Cité internationale, Lyon, France.

Lyon 25 is a public staircase of 25 pale stone steps outside the Centre de congrès de Lyon, between the quai Charles de Gaulle and the allée Achille-Lignon bordering the Parc de la Tête d'Or. It drops about 4.5 metres, with dark horizontal tread lines and a sloped concrete wall with a metal handrail on the right.

The stairs gained recognition in 2002 when Ali Boulala documented his skateboarding attempts in a video compilation. This early exposure established the location as a notable spot within the skateboarding world, drawing increasing attention over the following years.

The stairs draw skateboarders from around the world who share their attempts on social media and connect with others pursuing the same passion. This spot has become a meeting point where the global skateboarding community gathers to push boundaries and inspire each other.

The stairs are not freely accessible: for safety reasons, security staff from the Centre de congrès de Lyon regularly stop attempts to jump them, as seen in social media videos. They stand outside the Centre de congrès, between the quai Charles de Gaulle and the allée Achille-Lignon, along the Parc de la Tête d'Or.

The stairs are not open to the public: security staff from the Centre de congrès de Lyon regularly try to stop attempts, as seen in videos posted online. The drop is about 4.50 metres, and the site probably dates from 1995.
