Out and about


This morning we decided to go "downtown" to Bellecour and over near the Saone. First we went by a market near our house and walked around. Then we took the metro to Bellecour and went by the tourist office and were reminded that today and tomorrow are European Heritage days, so lots of buildings are open for tours and lots of people were out and about. We walked from Bellecour back towards the Opera and Hotel de Ville. We were hoping to go inside those two buildings, but they were closed due to another event. We walked towards the Saone and browsed the used book tables. We saw a trompe d'oeil building we hadn't seen before. We had lunch at Chez Mounier, but were disappointed to not see "our" guy. Well it turns out he started his own restaurant just down the road... we'll have to try that next time.
