Le Parc de la Tete D'Or

This is a very large park in Lyon with lots of walking/biking/scootering/rollerblading paths, lots of open grass where people sit/gather/play music/etc as well as gardens (including the large rose garden and even a large greenhouse), a playground for kids, a lake, a small zoo and generally lots of beauty and people watching.

A garden with lots of types of plants.
Little horse carts for little kids - how cute!
A lake with little boats to rent.
You can hardly see it, but there are kangaroos in this picture. They are in the little free zoo in the park.
A very pretty river with lots of quaint bridges.
A rose garden which is much larger and smelled much better than this picture can show.
