More information on Bois de Balmont
Everywhere seems to have its own Buttes-Chaumont (a park in Paris)! The 9th arrondissement in Lyon may be off the beaten tourist track but if you explore as far as the Rue des Contrabandiers you will not be disappointed. This park was originally part of an old private estate from the 19th century, and its organization is a throw back to those times, whether one looks at art or literature from that period. A small tempietto with seven ionic columns reveal the taste at that time for classical architecture. The shaded walkways which surround this temple of love have undoubtedly inspired a good number of romantics! There is nothing more to say - go and see for yourself!
