Parc du Brûlet, Botanical garden in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, France.

The park extends over 4 hectares at 305 meters altitude, featuring numerous paths through gardens filled with Mediterranean almond trees and Atlas cedars.

In the early 19th century, a wealthy family developed this land into an English-style garden before it split into the current park and residential area.

The park contains visible remains of the Roman Gier aqueduct that once supplied water to ancient Lugdunum through an underground tunnel system.

The garden maintains free access and connects to Lyon public transportation networks, with entrances on Brulet Street, Chavril Street, and Georges-Clemenceau Street.

The southern section houses mulberry tree plantations that supplied silkworms to the National Institute for Agricultural Research until 2009.
