Pagode Thiện Minh, Vietnamese Buddhist pagoda in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, France.
The pagoda features a polygonal structure with overlapping roofs, decreasing in size at each level, crowned by a tall spire with descending discs.
The Vietnamese Buddhist Association of Rhône-Alpes initiated construction in 1984, completing the pagoda in 1990, followed by reconstruction from 2006 to 2011 after a fire.
The garden surrounding the pagoda contains sculptures and representations depicting important moments in Buddha's life and Buddhism's development through time.
Visitors can access the temple during weekdays from 9:30 to 11:30 and 14:00 to 17:00, with extended hours until 17:30 on weekends.
The library houses a collection of sutras in Vietnamese, Chinese, English, and French, available for consultation during weekend hours.
