Green space & picnic spot at the top of a hill with a view of the city of Lyon & the Saône river.

Scenic rose garden in a large park featuring thousands of blooms & hundreds of varieties.

😐 Quiet place

The remnants of a 5th-century cathedral & its baptismal font are preserved in this small park.

👍👍 Un endroit magnifique et très "nature" où l'on côtoie grenouilles, libellules et poissons au milieu d'un jardin extraordinaire, un vrai dépaysement !!

Secret landscaped garden created by Jules Senis with mosaic walls filled with seashells & stones.

😠 This green space cannot be called a garden at the moment. It’s neglected, dirty and not welcoming at all. I suppose it might have been a nice garden and will need work to bring it back to have the feel of a maintained garden.

👍 Quiet and pleasant garden. Ideal for a stopover or a break for lunch. Beautiful view of the city in a green setting. To do if you visit Lyon.

👍👍 A beautiful view of Lyon, to do during your stay! I advise you to get on the metro and come back down on foot, especially if it's hot, so as not to suffer too much!

😐 Very pleasant park during the day, a little more dangerous in the evening with all the people who decide to run their dogs (even though they are prohibited).... Too bad some people don't respect anything.

👍👍 Very beautiful place, calm and relaxing 😌

Contemporary hotel in a former 1600s convent offering apartments with kitchenettes & free breakfast.

👍 The lawn has just been redone for the fourth time so please respect this area, use the bins to throw away your waste, respect the plants if you want the city to become more pleasant to live in.

This would have prevented us from showing up on private property as well as in a public place and appearing as ill-mannered. I have no doubt that it is very beautiful; what we saw made us want to see more...

😐 Joli parc, bien sécurisé. Quelques racailles de temps en temps, mais pas de quoi avoir peur. On retrouve des cadavres de bouteilles ou de cannettes au fond du parc, mais jamais vers les jeux pour enfants. Les jeux sont assez variés et bien sécurisés. Arboré et bien entretenu. Possibilité de pic-niqu...

😠 So what can I say.... Unwelcome staff who look down on us and treat us like crap. Plus they make us pay a drink even if we don't drink. Then €2 for a hanger for changing rooms which we don't need but which are also obligatory. A manager of the club who himself does not respect the rules, he smoked i...
