A large city like Lyon is mainly known for its architecture, its museums and monuments. However, have you ever thought about visiting its large and small parks? The green corners of Lyon, each as authentic as the next, are definitely worth the detour.
The Golden Head Park
Certainly the most famous place in Lyon, the Tête d’Or park welcomes young and old all year round. With its 117 hectares, it is one of the largest urban parks in Europe. This park has different sectors. The free zoo, the lake and the trails that cross the park will allow you to enjoy the magic of the Tête d’Or park.
Discover the large green spaces where it is good to picnic and play kites. Let yourself be charmed by the lake where the swans will be your friends during a trip by pedal boat or boat.
The paths can be enjoyed on foot, by bike or on a rosalie, on rollerblades and even on a scooter. Its rides present all along the park and its small food stands will make you fall in love. This park brings together wonderful nature with lots of activities!
Kaplan Park
Welcoming, this park located near Garibaldi is the green lung of the neighborhood. Play area for the little ones and climbing walls for the older ones, its style is its own. Embellished with rusty-looking pieces, the “square” style gives it a family feel.
The garden of curiosities
A park nestled on the heights of Fourvière hill, the hidden entrance to this garden gives it a magical appearance… The garden of curiosities overlooks the city and offers a magnificent panorama during the day and in the evening.
This small park is littered with works of art, each one as strange and curious as the next.
As soon as night falls, the lights of Lyon put on a show: magnificent and unique. A little piece of greenery with a magical feel, come and stop in this garden far from the crowds.
The Chartreux garden
Very wooded, the Chartreux garden offers a magnificent view of the banks of the Saône and the slopes of the Croix-Rousse. Discover sculptures from the 1950s during your walk. Located near the building with 365 windows, this quirky and steep garden is a true haven of peace.
