Parc Chambovet

Parc Chambovet is a public park in the Montchat district of Lyon's 3rd arrondissement with a long-standing reputation as a daytime and evening gay cruising spot, documented in French guides such as Petit Fute. Activity centres on the wooded paths and the areas between the main entrances and is busiest in the warmer months. As this is a public green space, France treats cruising here discreetly rather than formally: keep interactions consensual and low-key, remember the park has families and other visitors by day, avoid isolated corners after dark, and follow local law and common-sense safety.
