Parc de Gerland, Public park in 7th district, Lyon, France
Located along the Rhône River, this 80-hectare park features vast meadows, gardens with 18,000 plants across 300 species, and 600 trees.
The park was created between 1997 and 2002 by architect Michel Corajoud on a former industrial site, transforming the area into a recreational space.
The Festival 6e Continent takes place in the park at the beginning of June, promoting international cultures and diversity in the Lyon metropolitan area.
The park opens daily from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM during summer months and until 8:30 PM in winter, with access via Metro Line B.
The park contains one of Europe's largest fog systems, creating fine water droplets, and includes permanent sound installations by Pierre Alain Jaffrennou.
