WARNING: for hikes along the banks of the Rhône, check for flood risks before you set off:

Go down Avenue du Rhône.
At the crossroads by the fire station, turn left onto Rue de Palot. Cross the Batalon on the stone bridge. 200 m further on, take the first path on the right and then immediately turn left to reach the counter-canal.
Turn right and continue to the Salle des Graviers. Reach the dam by following the banks of the Rhône. Before the dam, cross the RD 503 to reach the left bank of the artificial river. Follow it downstream to the last footbridge, then follow it back upstream to the Plan d’Eau.
Cross the leisure park and get to the footbridge; cross it and, on the other side, take the Passage Donzelle (archway), then Rue des Fleurs to arrive at Place de la Croix.
