The Lion de la Feuillée is a monument at Montreal Botanical Garden.
The huge lion that lies at the entrance to the rose garden was donated by the city of Lyon on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of Montreal in 1992.
The first bridge over the Feuillée was open to the public on 28 September 1831 in the heart of the city of Lyon, France. The Feuillée Lion is one of four castings up the original work. During the reconstruction of the bridge in 1910, the four lions were relocated. In 1992, one of them took the road to Montreal.
