Jardin Rosa Mir
Tucked into a courtyard in the heart of La Croix-Rousse, the Jardin Rosa Mir is a surprise you find by pushing open a door. Created by Jules Senis, it has been a classified historic monument since 24 December 1987. A short but memorable visit, to slip into a walk on the slopes.
A hidden garden
The garden lies in the heart of the La Croix-Rousse quarter, in the 4th arrondissement. It occupies a courtyard of the building at 83 Grande Rue de la Croix-Rousse: nothing from the street hints at what is hidden there. It is the work of Jules Senis.
A protected heritage
The garden has been protected as a classified historic monument since 24 December 1987 and holds the 'Patrimoine du XXe siècle' label. This double recognition makes it a place apart among Lyon's gardens.
