Last things from Lyon

We've left Lyon behind but thought we'd share some of the highlights - good, bad and funny.

Our cereal called 'Fully raisins' even though it wasn't.


Giant Zucchinis at the daily fresh markets in the Croix-Rousse square.

Lots of stairs in our apartment but no lifts.

The 'Gros Caillou' (Big Rock) - a tourist attraction that wasn't really all that big.


The rentable electric cars for locals or tourists who only need them for a short time - you could see them charging at special stations in the street.


The 'duelling gondoliers' - fighting it out in the Quay.  We are not sure what the object of the duel was, but it looked like fun. They'd knock each other into the river with their poles.


Lastly our favourite place for breakfast, Brasserie des Ecoles, which was open almost 24/7. Loved this artwork combining books and wine!

  1. Lyon looks amazing! The street markets are one of the things I love most about France. That and the croissants!
