Jardin de la Bonne Maison, Private garden in La Mulatière, France
The garden spans one hectare on the Sainte-Foy hill, featuring eight small stone walls that prevent erosion across its gentle slope terrain.
The garden, transformed 38 years ago by Georges and Odile Masquelier, evolved from ancient vineyard grounds into a structured botanical space.
The garden maintains connections with international botanical institutions like Sangerhausen in Germany and the Carla Fineschi Foundation in Florence.
Visitors can explore the garden during March through June and September through October on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for a 10 euro entrance fee.
The garden houses 800 varieties of roses, 80 types of clematis, and numerous peonies, supported by five pergolas and 65 metal arches.

Lyon offers photographers many opportunities beyond the usual routes. This selection leads through different city districts and shows both historical and contemporary subjects. In Vieux Lyon you'll find narrow streets and hidden passages between old buildings, while Croix-Rousse reveals workers' courtyards and murals that tell the story of the area's industrial past. The traboules, narrow passages connecting streets, often link several buildings and create interesting light conditions. The hills of Fourvière display Roman structures like the ancient theater and the remains of aqueducts, while modern architecture such as the Orange Cube or the Musée des Confluences provides contrast. Several gardens at different elevations offer varying perspectives on the city: the Rose Garden in La Mulatière, the Rosa Mir Garden tucked into the courtyards of Croix-Rousse, or the Parc des Hauteurs above the city. The banks of the Rhône and smaller squares like Place Colbert round out the selection, showing everyday life in different neighborhoods of Lyon.
