Places to Run : Parc Parilly, Lyon, France
Two synthetic running tracks (one inside a stadium, the second surrounded by a criterium or kermesse track), loads of grass, trees for shade, grassy knolls, paths named after flowers and tunnels, a hippodrome on the edge (not where they race hippos). This is the venue for the World Masters Athletics XC Championships.
I'm not going to say how to race such a course, leave it to your imagination. Basically 4 x almost 2km loops, starts on a playing field, finishes on a criterium track...it's not all grass...there are no hills (yes bumps possibly). Too funny sounds like the top loop at Stromlo, will have to practice the 300m bitumen finish. See wrong image.
