(S) Depart from the Jaude tram stop. Walk north along the tram line, passing to the left of the statue of Vercingétorix, then follow Avenue des États-Unis and turn left onto Rue Saint-Dominique. Follow this street to the intersection with Rue Gabriel Péri (beautiful building opposite), turn right and continue to the intersection with Rue du Galet, just after passing the car park. Follow it to the right and turn left onto Rue Louis Braille. Cross Rue Fongièvre (beautiful door opposite) and take Rue Villevaud, slightly to the right opposite. You will arrive at Place Maréchal Fayolle.

Turn left onto Rue Sainte-Claire, follow Rue de la Garde to the left, then turn right onto Petite Rue de la Garde. Just after reaching Rue Saint-Antelme, take a small street on the right, Rue Danchet. You will arrive at Rue du Pont Naturel, opposite the first mural, on the gable of No. 14, signed by Loraine Motti, an artist from Lyon.

Continue straight ahead (note the pretty façade of the Villa des Fleurs (Le Comptoir restaurant), the fountains and ponds, and the exotic greenhouse on the Michelin premises, visible from the terrace). Cross Boulevard Jean-Baptiste Dumas and head towards the Chapelle des Carmes-Déchaux. In front of the chapel entrance, enter the Cimetière des Carmes.
Follow one of the paths that stays close to the surrounding wall on the right to quickly reach the cemetery entrance that opens onto Chaussée Claudius (for example, follow the path opposite the entrance, but further on, turn right onto the small paths before veering too far to the left).
