Jardin des Curiosités, Urban park in 5th arrondissement, Lyon, France.
The Jardin des Curiosités extends across 6000 square meters of terraced landscape, featuring metal chairs positioned to frame different views of Lyon.
Montreal city officials commissioned this garden in 2001 to commemorate twenty years of partnership between Lyon and Montreal through architectural collaboration.
The garden incorporates metal seating installations by sculptor Michel Goulet, creating observation points that frame Lyon's architectural elements and river views.
Visitors can reach the garden by taking the Saint-Just funicular from Vieux Lyon metro station and walking left along Trion Street.
A sand terrace provides views over Lyon's rooftops, while a small bridge references the Jacques-Cartier bridge connecting Montreal to the Saint Lawrence River.
