The shuttle allows you to cross the Rhône free of charge from the Quai de la Ligne at the foot of the Rocher des Doms to the island of Barthelasse, a starting point for exploring Europe's largest river island, on foot or by bike.
Crossing the Rhône by boat is a convenient and quick way to reach the opposite bank to continue your walk along the towpath, relax, and picnic on the lawns while enjoying a magnificent view. But it's also an opportunity to enjoy a pleasant trip on the water: a mini-cruise that offers a breathtaking view of the famous Pont d'Avignon!
