Jardin Archéologique

  • Address: Entrance on rue de la Bombarde, Vieux Lyon, Lyon

Fodor's Review:

This garden contains the excavated ruins of two churches that succeeded one another on this site. The foundations of the churches were unearthed during a time when apartment buildings -- constructed here after churches had been destroyed during the Revolution -- were being demolished. One arch still remains and forms part of the ornamentation in the garden.
