1) Relax at the Tête d'Or Park — the Lyons largest park	The 105-hectare site is the most well-known park in Lyon. It boasts a picturesque lake and huge lawns alternating with the groves of hundred-year-old trees. Some of the plane trees are 40 meters high! The Tête d'Or Park also features vast rose gardens and a botanical garden, as well as a zoological park. A wonderful place to take a rest from the commotion of the city.
2) See Lyon’s version of the Eiffel tower	The Metallic Tower of Fourvière, built in the late 19th century, is 85 metres high. It may not seem much, but the Tower, perched on the hill near the Basilica de Notre Dame, is the city’s highest point. Until the 1950s, the visitors could take the elevator to enjoy the views of Lyon from its top. Alas, that is no longer possible. Still, the likeliness to the Eiffel Tower makes it worth a close-up look. To get such an opportunity, take the funicular from St. Jean.
3) Look for the works of art in the parking garages of Lyon	LPA, the largest parking operator in Lyon, adds some artworks in its garages. For instance, the Célestins Parking Garage has one by Daniel Buren, a modern French artist. The square in front of the Théatre des Celestins has an optical device, shoving you some moving lights. After descending into the parking garage, you will realise that you were looking at the large moving mirror on its bottom. Check it out yourself!
