L'ile barbe

Isle Barbie is an island located in the center of Saône in Lyon, which is a prominent setting for Lyon legends and a great place for curious walkers. Today, the island is inhabited by a small number of people. It consists of a public part (clay courts for playing pétanque, a large garden, and a set of games for children) and a private part. There are two important landmarks on the island, namely the monastery, which was founded in the fifth century, and it is the first monastic institution in Lyon, and there is the wonderful suspension bridge that extends over the island at the southern end.
