I love this park set along the hillside that takes you up to the Notre Dame Basilica. Great views…read morealong the way. Spots for scenic photos. Spots to sit and picnic. Amazing exercise since it's all up hill and many routes involve endless stairs! We have gone two days in a row because it was so great. And don't forget the best perk...you get to visit the gorgeous ornate notre dame after you make it to the top and check out the 360 degree views. Suggestion: try out differnt routes from different starting points in Vieux Lyon. You can start near the Jean-Baptiste church or on the other end near the train station. You can also do switch back trails or narrow neighborhood streets or lots of stairs!

Au pied de ce jardin s'élève la maison de Pauline Jaricot, grande figure de la Propagation de la Foi et fondatrice du Rosaire Vivant au XIXe siècle. Ces jardins permettent de s'élever peu à peu jusqu'à la crypte dédiée à Saint Joseph. La porte des lions accédant à la crypte était, dans le projet de Pierre Bossan - architecte du jardin - l'entrée principale de la Basilique.

This view is less crowded and more beautiful than that of Fourvière. A must-see in Lyon!read more
