Chassieu can be explored through a range of interests: the food market, paths through the countryside, culture, golf and trade fairs each offer a different focus. A visit to the market, an event or time outdoors can each give your stay a different emphasis.
Market visit and local food
Chassieu’s general market takes place on Wednesday and Saturday mornings at Place Coponat. It offers food and textiles. Market hours are listed as 5:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; exact opening times may change, so check them before your visit. As a regular market day, the market is especially useful as an anchor for planning if you would like to schedule your stay for a Wednesday or Saturday morning.
Many local producers sell food at the market. The selection and range of goods may change over time. The market therefore combines food shopping with a direct glimpse of local market life, without requiring you to plan an extensive day of activities.
Walks and views
The Promenade du Biezin is a good place to observe the local flora and fauna in the agricultural plains of eastern Lyonnais. It is 4.5 kilometres long and designed for pedestrians and cyclists. Those looking to spend time outdoors will find a clearly signposted route here, with nature watching and the agricultural landscape at its heart.
The De la ville aux champs route offers beautiful views over the Lyon metropolitan area. The two routes therefore appeal to different interests: the Promenade du Biezin focuses on flora and fauna, while the De la ville aux champs route focuses on views across the metropolitan area. The 4.5-kilometre distance refers to the Promenade du Biezin; it is not a measure of the other route’s length.
Culture in Chassieu
Karavan Théâtre offers a varied programme of theatre, dance, music, comedy and documentary films. Alongside performances, the venue’s profile includes working with teams of artists: it hosts theatre, dance and music production teams in residence. At open rehearsals or meet-and-greets, audiences can meet artists. If you would like to include culture in your stay, you can look out for both the programme and these opportunities to meet artists.
The Conservatoire de musique et de danse gives residents of Chassieu and the Lyon metropolitan area the opportunity to try and develop their musical or choreographic skills. Its courses are therefore aimed at people from the town and region who would like to play music or dance themselves. It complements the theatre as another cultural focus, but with a different emphasis: active musical or choreographic practice rather than a stage programme.
Trade fairs and golf
The Parc des Expositions Eurexpo in Chassieu hosts, among other events, the Foire de Lyon, Pollutec, Sirha, Équita Lyon and the Mondial des métiers. Event schedules vary. If a particular trade fair is the reason for your trip, check the exact dates before planning your stay. This lets you arrange your accommodation search around a specific event, without assuming a fixed schedule.
Golf enthusiasts will find a 6-hole and an 18-hole course at Golf Bluegreen Grand Lyon Chassieu. The club also offers themed group lessons covering the basics of golf for players of all skill levels. The two course formats and the lessons offer different options: you can consider playing a course yourself or learn the basics in a group lesson.
Find hotels based on the purpose of your trip
When choosing a hotel in Chassieu, it helps to decide first what you would like to focus on during your stay. The market has regular market days on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while dates at Eurexpo depend on the individual events. Nature watching, views, cultural events and golf are other specific reasons to include the town in your search. Search for hotels in Chassieu based on the purpose of your trip and, if you are planning to attend a trade fair, check that the event dates you want fall within your travel period.
