A green space on the Rhône
The Parc de la Feyssine is a green space on the banks of the Rhône, in the north of Villeurbanne, at the gates of Lyon. Its total area is 55 hectares; only forty are landscaped, the rest keeping a more natural character.
What you'll find
The park is separated from its southern fringe by the former Lyon ring road, lined with plane trees. Its development dates from around 2002, making it a relatively recent park. The mood is open and calm, far from the more classic parks of the centre.
Walking and relaxing
Large and by the river, the park lends itself to walking and outdoor relaxation. Bring comfortable shoes, and keep it for a day when you want to step away from the buzz of the centre. No hours are given in the source: check before you come.
