About

The Gillet family, some of the biggest industrialists in Lyon, had their private mansion called "Villa Gillet" built in this park in the Croix-Rousse area. The city council bought it in 1976 and it is now dedicated to art with a special section that researches modern art (music, painting, sculpture, photography, video, literature etc). In the actual park, which is one of the nicest in the area, there are various sculptures (by J.B. Raynaud, B. Pagès and others) to be discovered.
