    The tour of the Tete d Or was taken on Tuesday morning, 22nd August, 2023. Our host, DIDAC showed us around the various spots of this famous and impressive park, built in the 19th century. Our host explained to us the sections we would be visiting, shared interesting stories and explained to us the tour with pictures he was carrying with him. Unfortunately, because of the record heat wave during those days, the trip was rather exhausting, although, the timing was shifted from the afternoon to morning to avoid discomfort. The main point which I would like to emphasize is that any informed tourist can do this tour on his/her own and does not need to be "guided". The park is well marked and can be covered in couple of hours without any help for most tourists. This is not to discredit the host, who made great efforts to make the tour interesting. It is just that the tour is not worth its value for money.

    Très beau parc mais la visite n’était pas ce à quoi nous nous attendions. Les boissons que nous devions avoir n’ont jamais été offertes, la visite s’est fait au pas de course. Le guide était très connaissant mais plus ou moins attentif à nos besoins. Nous n’avons pas pu apprécier le parc à sa juste valeur.

    Bellissimo Polmone verde di grande estensione, con un lago navigabile, e una serie di servizi per famiglie e bambini e non solo. All' interno si trova uno zoo con animali esotici. Molto ben tenuto e a ingresso gratuito. Vale una pausa rilassante.

    Le guide est venu nous chercher devant l'hôtel et c'est très appréciable. Un peu d'histoire de Lyon sur le trajet et visite guidée du parc. C'était très intéressant et agréable.
