ViaRhôna question
Hi everyone! ☺️
I hope someone can help me. I’m wondering if anyone has done the ViaRhôna (EuroVélo 17) trip in France from/through Lyon! We’re going there soon and I read this precaution on the francevélotourisme website for the Lyon-Vienne part of the journey:
“⚠️ Temporary route marked on the right and left banks with sections on busy roads and a rough track (not recommended for road bikes, tandems, cargo bikes, bikes with trailers and panniers). Train strongly recommended from Lyon to Givors.” // “⚠️ Itinéraire provisoire jalonné en rive droite et gauche avec des sections sur routes à fort trafic et un chemin peu carrossable (déconseillé aux vélos de route, tandems, cargos, vélos avec remorques et sacoches). Train fortement conseillé de Lyon à Givors.”
Can anyone who has been here give some advice about this section? Is it really that bad/dangerous? Would we be better off with taking the train?
Ps. Sorry for writing here in English haha but my French is only like a B1 level
