Public toilets in Lyon
This map locates the public toilets recorded across the Métropole de Lyon, telling free facilities apart from paid ones and flagging those that are wheelchair accessible.
Interactive map in Lyon — public toilets.
What the map shows
Street facilities sit alongside those in parks and gardens — the parc de la Tête d’Or above all — on the redeveloped banks of the Rhône and the Saône, and in transport hubs.
Many of these close with the park that houses them, often at nightfall and earlier in winter. Opening hours appear on the record where they have been surveyed.
Accessibility
Toilets flagged as accessible have a turning space and grab rails. The information comes from OpenStreetMap surveys and is not filled in everywhere: an absence is not a “no”.
Where the data comes from
The locations come from OpenStreetMap, resynchronised automatically. A facility closed for works may stay on the map for a while.
Frequently asked questions
- Are public toilets free in Lyon?
- Most of the street facilities recorded are free. Some venues, particularly in stations, still charge: the record says so where the information exists.
- Are there toilets along the banks of the Rhône?
- Yes, several facilities line the redeveloped banks and the parc de la Tête d’Or. They do follow the opening hours of the grounds.
- How do I find the nearest toilets while cycling?
- Zoom in on your position: the map shows the facilities recorded around you. The banks of the Rhône and the Saône are well provided for.
- Do these facilities appear on a planned route?
- Not in Lyon: Sécu’Cycle navigation does not yet cover the metropolitan area. The map stands on its own, which is enough to plan ahead.
