Parc des Hauteurs stretches across the crest of Fourvière hill and forms a peaceful green walkway that links key sites while offering wide views over Lyon. The paths wind between trees terraces and small bridges creating a sequence of quiet spaces that feel suspended above the city. One of the most enjoyable activities here is to follow the panoramic footpath from the basilica toward the ancient theatres because this gentle route combines nature history and shifting viewpoints in a single relaxed walk. Along the way glimpses of the Saône the Presqu’île and distant hills appear through breaks in the landscape giving the park a calm reflective rhythm that invites you to slow down and enjoy the height and openness of the setting.
