One historical layer is piled upon another in Lyon. Gallo-Roman ruins live cheek-by-jowl with Gothic churches and modern murals. Here are a few city scenes to amuse you including a view from our airbnb as well as the dinner of mullet and scallops with fat white asparagus Mikie made one night.
Walking around in France, one is struck by beauty everywhere. Lone poppies sprout up from sidewalk cracks. Unassuming patches of land sport French gardens which look wild but upon further inspection, were very much intended (and tended).
In Paris, we saw the occasional beggar. In Lyon, we saw a nearly hidden park with a sea of tents which, sadly, are familiar to any Angeleno.
