What makes it 73% Baby-Friendly: Wide stroller paths, shaded hammocks and prairie picnics suit infants, and toilets allow ad-hoc diaper changes; still, there is no dedicated nursing room, stroller rental or weather-proof indoor play.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Half-day allows stroller walks, picnic and quiet breaks without rushing.
Stroller-friendly stroll:
Follow wide, flat paths from the Belle-Étoile entrance around the ponds and meadows.
Tip: Bring a pram with sturdy wheels for gravel sections.
Picnic on the prairie:
Lay a blanket in the main meadow near the château.
Tip: Pack baby-friendly snacks and a sun shade.
Rest in quiet zones:
Use hammocks or deckchairs under mature trees.
Tip: Head there at midday for a shaded nap spot.
Playground observation:
Watch older kids on the spider-net climber from a nearby bench.
Tip: Sit near the wooden hut so baby can crawl safely on grass.
Café breaks at the château:
Feed or change baby in the indoor seating area.
Tip: Order a warm drink and ask for a high chair if needed.

Was there for a private party, and it was truly amazing.

Beautiful park. Lots of walk variety. Château beautiful. Lovely café for lunches.

It's a good place for a little or long walk. You can take your pets there but have to keep them on a leash for safety mesures. Just be careful because it's a famous spot, by Sundays there can be a lot of people....

Very nice park for walking, runing and riding bikes.

We haven't discovered all the park yet.. But it is a very nice place for walk and playing and also enjoy the nature
In summer, free outdoor films and concerts appear near the barn—check the Métropole de Lyon calendar. In spring, the rose garden blooms and in autumn, woodland paths glow with color.
