Passerelle de la Paix, Lyon
Overall view
The “Passerelle de la Paix”, litterally translated the “Footbridge of Peace”, was designed by Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes and Schlaich Bergermann Partner. It links the town of Caluire to the Cité internationale in the 6th district of Lyon.
The aerial architecture of this major civil engineering project, measuring 220 meters-long for the higher part of the promenade (and 156 meters-long for the lower part) “gives the impression that it came to rest naturally on the river Rhône” says Gérard Collomb, senator and mayor of Lyon. To him, this footbridge marks the north entry of Lyon that you can “see night and day”.
