Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit Lyon, The City of two hills
Take a moment to enjoy this lovely view of the city! You’re in the Parc des Hauteurs, literally the park of Heights. It links the Basilique de Fourvière and the centre of Vieux-Lyon through wooded slopes and flower gardens. Laid out in 1989 with the aim of sustaining the site of the Fourvière hill and enabling the people of Lyon to move from one site to another in a beautiful natural setting featuring themed gardens. Here, you stand in the Rosaire Garden, designed at the end of the 19th century by Pierre Bossan, the architect who drew up the plans for the present-day Fourvière basilica, construction of which began in 1872. The Rosaire Garden is the oldest part of the park and one of the most pleasant, so make the most of it! It’s the perfect place to spend time in nature, while looking out over the rooftops of Lyon!
