Parc Sergent Blandan
In the 7th arrondissement, Parc Blandan covers 17 hectares on the site of the former Sergent Blandan barracks. Opened to the public on 13 September 2013, it is a young, widely accessible park next to the old Guillotière cemetery. A contemporary breather in a changing district.
From barracks to park
Parc Blandan is a 17-hectare public park, opened to the public on 13 September 2013 on the site of the Caserne Sergent Blandan in Lyon's 7th arrondissement. The barracks, previously known as Fort Lamothe, have given way to a large open space.
A park beside heritage
The park adjoins the old Guillotière cemetery, a neighbourhood that gives the walk a historical dimension. Ideal for running, strolling or lying on the grass, it fits well into a day exploring the 7th arrondissement.

The park is open every day from 6:30 to 22:30, leaving room for a morning or evening walk. For any question, the listed number is +33 4 72 10 30 30. Check the hours before you come.
