Dog-Friendly Parks in Lyon

Lyon is unusually well-equipped with green space for a French city of its size, and most of it is accessible with dogs on a lead. The Parc de la Tête d'Or is one of the largest urban parks in France — an extraordinary resource in the middle of the city — and the riverbank parks along both the Rhône and the Saône give Lyon a quality of outdoor life that few European cities can match. Dogs must be kept on a lead in all public parks, but the spaces are large enough that this rarely feels restrictive. The four parks below cover every part of the city and suit dogs of all sizes and temperaments.
