Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost: Péage de St-Maurice-de-Beynost à l'est de Lyon

Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost pairs the settled character of a small town with the momentum of Lyon’s outer suburbs, reflecting its geographic position between the slopes of the Côtière and the Rhône plain. In the Ain department, it lies east of Lyon, where the land descends southward toward the Rhône and its broad valley. Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost station stands on the Lyon–Geneva railway line, linking the commune to an established regional and cross-border transport corridor. Housing, shops and local services occupy the slope above the plain, placing the town firmly within the wider geography of the Lyon metropolitan area.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is widely known in France for the French Alps, the major mountain chain along its eastern edge. This vast administrative region also extends west across the Massif Central and follows the Rhône valley, bringing together volcanic uplands, river corridors and major cities. Lyon, the regional capital, stands between the Rhône and Saône, and its historic centre is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Near these coordinates, northern Ardèche lies close to the wooded hills of the Pilat area, where the Rhône corridor forms a transition between upland country and valley settlements. Alpine cheeses and Rhône valley wines reflect the region’s varied terrain. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
