The shuttle provides free access across the Rhône from the Quai de la Ligne, near the Pont d'Avignon, to the Barthelasse island, a starting point for discovering Europe's largest river island, on foot or by bike.
The free shuttle service crosses the Rhône from the Quai de la Ligne at the foot of Rocher des Doms to Barthelasse Island, the starting point for exploring Europe's largest river island on foot or by bike.


Crossing the Rhône by boat is a quick and convenient way to reach the opposite bank, where you can continue your walk along the towpath, relax and picnic on the lawns while enjoying the magnificent views. But it's also the perfect opportunity to enjoy a pleasant ride on the water: a mini-cruise offering a breathtaking view of the famous Pont d'Avignon!

Barthelasse Island is the countryside in the city.
A 13 km itinerary, the "Balade à vélo de l'île de la Barthelasse", allows you to explore this green setting and discover its flora and fauna in complete tranquillity.

The river shuttle runs from mid-February to December 31 - approximately every 15 minutes.

Capacity: 50 passengers - 7 bicycles allowed.

Dogs on a leash are allowed.

Please note: the shuttle cannot operate on windy days or during periods of flooding on the Rhône - please contact the Tourist Office on + 33 (0)4 32 74 32 74.
