Wednesday...

Yesterday after lunch we did a walking tour of Presqu’ile North (the area between the Rhone and the Saone rivers).  It was sunny all afternoon!

Some highlights:

Opera House

Bartholdi Fountain

Hotel de Ville

Musee de Beaux Arts

Saint Nizier Church (one of the oldest in Lyon, built in 1400s)

Jacobins fountain

Celestins Theatre

 

We also browsed a kitchen/home store, Cote Maison, AND, we found an Emile Henry store!

 

We cleaned the apartment a little bit since we are having company tonight… we invited an American couple over for supper.  They are in Lyon for 6 months while the husband is working on his PhD in engineering.

 

We also made a run to Carrefour so we wouldn’t have to do it today.
