Did you know that plastic bottles are the most common form of packaging waste found in Europe’s rivers? Maybe you’ve never tried stepping into a bar to fill your drinking bottle, but in Lyon, we’re happy to help you achieve this easy win for the environment. Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, identify all of the city’s public water fountains, as well as bars, restaurants, hotels and shops where you’re welcome to fill your drinking bottle for free, and get a smile in return! In Lyon, it’s all about the warm welcome.

See a map of all #WaterFriendly locations on the Akualis app*

#Waterfriendly places are easy to spot with the stickers displayed in the window.  Each bottle you don’t buy means 240 g of CO2 saved!

To your water bottles!

*Akualis is a free, collaborative app that helps users locate drinking water points. Using the interactive map, users can be geolocated and guided to the nearest source of drinking water. An icon system allows users to identify whether the source is a public drinking fountain, a refreshment area, or a participating business. The app is available for free on the App Store and Google Play.
