I can remember the many time I went to the Parc de la Tête d'Or in the years '69, '70 & '71 when I was a student at the Psychiatric Hospital of Vinatier in Lyon-Bron.
I always succeded to relax when visiting over and over... You shouldn't miss that beautiful parc !

Web: "There are 7 entrances but the most impressive is the "Enfants du Rhône" gate which opens out onto the lake, the centerpiece of the park's landscape design. The immense lawns of romantic inspiration alternate with groves of trees often over a hundred years old. The flower beds, rose and peony gardens bring a year-round touch of color and perfume. The Tête d'Or Park is open to the public and admittance is free. If you want to go for a stroll or just laze under a tree, visit the botanic and rose gardens or maybe the zoo: this is the place."
