Grab a praline tart from Boulangerie du Palais. It is a popular local dessert and the bakery is open early enough for this plan.
15:34
Walk to the Jardin des Curiosités. Find the metallic door at the bottom of the street to enter this small garden designed by Canadian artists in a surrealistic spirit.
16:19
Stay for the view. The garden offers a nice viewpoint over the southern part of Lyon. You will see the city bathed in golden light as the sun sets toward the WSW.
17:04
Head to Brasserie Georges for a traditional Lyonnaise meal. The brasserie serves regional favorites and is open until 23:00, making it a perfect spot to end the evening.
Local tip
The bakery is open daily from 07:00 to 19:00, so you can pick up your tart well before the golden light begins. The garden is hidden, so look for the metallic door at the bottom of the street.
