Amidst the urban tapestry of Lyon, nestled between Rue Roy and Rue Jaboulay, lies Square René Bayet. This triangular green space, a mere 327 square meters, holds a captivating story. Square René Bayet isn’t just a park. It’s a testament to a man dedicated to serving Lyon. René Bayet, born in 1920 and passed away in 2002, served as deputy mayor under Louis Pradel and Francisque Collomb. His heart belonged to the 7th arrondissement, the very district where this square resides. Established in 2006, Square René Bayet offers a playground for children, a haven for families. A path meanders along Rue Roy, guiding visitors to the heart of the square. There, a fenced-off area, once home to the “Jardin de Camille,” stands as a silent tribute to a community project. In 2020, the fence succumbed to time, offering a welcoming space for quiet contemplation. Benches encircle the square, inviting passersby to pause and soak in the ambiance. Square René Bayet stands as a quiet tribute to a dedicated public servant, a vibrant space where the community can gather, and a testament to the enduring spirit of Lyon.
