Living in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon: on foot or by car?

Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon is a dense city: most daily errands are done on foot, and a car is usually superfluous (parking is a headache). That is why we do not show a driving isochrone here — on this kind of urban fabric, real travel time depends on traffic, not distance.

These figures are computed on the real street network (isochrone), not as the crow flies: they reflect journeys actually travelled.

Frequently asked questions

How is accessibility calculated?

By network isochrone: from the centre of the town we compute every street reachable in 5, 10 and 15 minutes on foot, by bike and by car, then count the amenities (BPE/INSEE) within. It is the real journey, not straight-line distance.

Which services are counted?

The six essential daily services: bakery, grocery, pharmacy, doctor, school and nursery.

Is accessibility in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon good for a car-free family?

It depends on the number of services reachable on foot shown above: the higher it is, the more daily life works without a car. In rural areas this number is often low and a car remains necessary.

Is this data up to date?

Amenities come from INSEE’s Permanent Equipment Database (BPE) and the road network from OpenStreetMap. Calculations are refreshed periodically.
