It is located in the heart of the old town (Vieux Lyon) and it backs up to the Saône river, with a large plaza in front of it and a metro stop nearby providing easy access to and from the city center.

On March 17, 2003, it was renamed the Paul Couturier footbridge in honor of this priest, born in La Guillotière on July 29, 1881 and died on March 29, 1953, who contributed to interfaith exchanges.
