Accompanied by a guide, visit the observatory park to discover its old library (of the nineteenth century), its cupolas (with its telescope of 1 m), pass in front of the pavilion sheltering the last elbow of the world still in its original state, to finish with the integration hall of the Astrophysics Research Center of Lyon which participates today in large-scale international projects.

Observatoireastronomique of Lyons, based(established) in 1878, is located on the hill of Saint-Genis-Laval. It is one of the 9 French monitoring centres(observatories). Endowed with 21 buildings(ships) and more than 40 instruments listed(classified) or registered in conformance with(for) historic monuments, it is at the heart of a four hectare park, rich in 500 trees and shrubs. This place steeped in history shelters from now on an unique(only) instrument: the bent equatorial glasses. Indeed, on seven copies built in world, that of Lyons is the only one to work still in her home state. Currently, the Monitoring centre(Observatory) of Lyons shelters the Research centre in Astrophysics of Lyons, research laboratory under the supervision of the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, of the NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH and of ENS. This one alloys cutting-edge research in astrophysics and scientific heritage.
