The "Jardin Alpin" of the Parc: alpine wildflowers, beautiful in the Springtime.

"This garden is often visited as soon as nature awakens, not only by botanists and plant lovers but also by persons who are passionately fond of mountains.

The current garden has a 2 000 m² surface. It is nearly enclosed by an artificial river, which presents a collection of horticultural lilies. The ancient part of the garden is now dedicated to French and European mountain flora, the "new" part shelters plants from the main extra European range of mountains.

This garden grows richer year by year and counts about 1 700 species. The plants are presented following a geographical classing on rock-works where there is often water running off." www.jardin-botanique-lyon.com/jbot/sections/en/visit_to...
