Parc de Lacroix-Laval, Municipal park in Marcy-l'Étoile, France
The park is a large natural area with valleys, meadows, lakes, rivers, and forests connected by walking paths. The landscape shifts between open areas and shaded woodland sections that invite exploration.
The grounds once housed a castle with foundations from the 12th century, which was later converted to house a museum. This structure shaped the site's use and development for centuries.
The place preserves old vegetable and rose varieties from the Lyon region in dedicated gardens. These growing areas show how people have worked with plants here for generations.
The grounds are accessible by bus or train, and parking is available nearby. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the paths lead through varied terrain.
Since 2024, there are designated quiet zones with hammocks and loungers for visitors. These areas allow you to enjoy the natural sounds of the surroundings without disturbance.
