• 9 am - Leave Lyon
• 9.45 am - Arrive in Saint-Martin-en-Haut and start your day by paying a visit to the Tourist Office, where you can borrow up to 4 electrically-assisted bicycles free of charge (pre-booking is recommended, trailers for children are also available). And set off along one of the bicycle trails to Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise.
• By this time, you should be feeling peckish, so you can head for the Lac du Ronzey in Yzeron, where you can take some time out for a picnic on the lakeshore (with its picnic area and children’s play facilities), before setting off for an afternoon of fun and adventure! 
• Head to Plateau d’Yzeron, where the play area will delight all the family, with a tree-climbing adventure trail, giant zip line, ninja obstacle course, orienteering course, escape game, pony rides and more.
