Es simplemente espectacular. Es enorme, verde, vivo y con una energía muy rica. No es solo un parque: es lago, jardín botánico, zoológico, áreas para caminar, correr, sentarse y desconectarse. Tiene espacios tranquilos para relajarse y otros con mucha vida y movimiento, así que funciona para todo tipo de plan. Lo mejor es que se siente súper natural, no artificial ni armado, todo fluye bien. Es perfecto para pasar varias horas sin aburrirse, ya sea caminando, descansando o explorando. No es una atracción turística forzada, es un espacio real de la ciudad, usado por la gente local. Un pulmón verde precioso y una parada obligatoria si estás en Lyon

El parque es enorme. Puedes disfrutar del lugar dando un paseo. En los martes el zoo está cerrado pero puedes ver a las jirafas y algún que otro animal. Recomiendo llevar una botella de agua en tiempos de verano. Las bebidas adentro están un poquito caras.

Uno de los parques más grandes de Europa. Tiene un largo de varias hectáreas y un zoo con animales en semilibertad que puedes visitar grandes. También buen arbolado con abundancia de sombra.
