Lyon Botanical Garden
An eight-hectare living plant museum inside Tête d'Or Park, with extensive outdoor collections and one of France's largest greenhouse complexes.
Why go
The garden adds structure and scientific depth to a park visit. Collections cover thousands of species, while separate greenhouse environments let you compare plants that could not survive outdoors in Lyon. It is a stronger choice than a general park circuit for travelers interested in botany.

Historic and tropical greenhouse displays

Useful to know
Check greenhouse closing times, which are earlier than the outdoor garden.
