La Saône-one of two rivers in Lyon.
Passerelle St. Vincent-there are many walking bridges in Lyon. Nice!
This is the MOST famous wall mural from Lyon (there are MANY !) It's near St. Vincent’s passerelle (or walking bridge).
Monika and I went walking all over Croix-Rousse looking for this mural (and just happened to find the other one! : )
There are more murals in Croix-Rousse, which sits atop one of the two collines, or hills in Lyon. This area is known for its silk workers (or canuts) from the 19th century.
A classic elderly French lady
The main square or place in Croix-Rousse
early one Saturday morning.
This stuff gets around!
That’s le crayon peaking out
on the other side of the river.
A common site in Lyon, in Europe, for that matter!
This band rocked the square at Place Carnot!
I took this shot simply to show my husband that I was thinking of him!
Ricardo, Anglica & Hugo--the 3 Brazilians. I LOVE this shot!
Elvis has left the building.
What a good dog!
Also called “le kid,” it had green plaid seat cushions. Classy!
This car looks a lot like a Peugeot we drove during our “retirement” trip in 1997.
Aka Johnny Walsh, according to rumor, has since closed.
Just to the left are the stairs down this colline in Lyon.
Come this way . . . ;-)
Nice job!
There were several of these painted rocks!
Can you see the little surprises on the wall?
Lyon street art
I think it was pretty au naturel as well!
Bleu, bleu, the sky is bleu.
That’s one scary ass clown!
Mickey gone bad.
Église Saint Polycarpe. Bach Canate BWV 106 – Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (avec introduction de l’« Actus Tragicus»). Pretty trippy to hear Bach’s music proclaiming that God’s time is the very best time . . . in German . . . in a French cathedral. Needless to say, it was beautiful.
Your guess is as good as mine!
Caught a kid on a skateboard along le Rhône . . . mid air!
Did you know that Interpol has a big headquarters
adjacent to the parc de la tête d’or? Well, now you do!
There was a little cart that you could ride on within the exhibit. Pretty far out man!
The weekly bulletin had all the what, where, when and WHO.
So this is how people move furniture
when they live in a high-rise!
In case you were wondering
what to wear to a vernissage.
And how people drive up to the top of a colline, or hill.
And how they know how high the water is on la Saône.
And why the fountain in Place des Terreaux
looks so nice most of the time.
And how people manage . . .
to come and go from vieux Lyon via a car!
And just who is that guy of the rock anyway?
A room with a view
Passerelle St. Vincent on a clear blue sky day : )
Jean Kleberger, the good German, town magistrate of Lyon . . . born in Nürnberg in 1486 and died in Lyon in 1546, that’s who!
Lily the cat
Au revoir Lyon!
