Although this garden is in the shadow of the great basilica, it is a relatively unknown green space at the heart of Lyon. A fine place to get away from it all, the gardens is sheltered from the hustle and bustle of city life by some high trees and a series of shrubs. Within the garden you will find many locals in the summer months, enjoying the views and sweet smells that are given off by the many plants that have been cleverly laid out to give a good show all year round.
