This stunning and eminently manageable museum showcases France's finest collection of sculptures and paintings outside Paris from antiquity on.

Pick up a free audio guide and be sure to stop for a drink or meal on the delightful stone terrace off its café-restaurant and take time out in its tranquil cloister garden.

Musée d'Art Contemporain
Parc de la Tête d'Or's northern realms abut Lyon's contemporary art museum, which mounts edgy temporary exhibitions and the rotating permanent collection of post-1960 art. It closes for up to a couple of months between exhibitions, so check to make sure something's on.
