Lyon Views

Lyon is not only an interesting city; it's also a beautiful city.  So, I thought I'd share some of the views with you.

Starting with our apartment:
This is the sunset out our living room window:

Here is the "Crayon" (pencil) out our kitchen window (a great landmark - easily visible from all over the city, and my guide home on walks):

This is a view looking down a street on the Presqu'ile, a peninsula between the Saone and Rhone rivers in the center of Lyon:

I took this picture from a park in Croix Russe looking towards the city center and Fourviere Hill  You can see a cathedral on the hill in the distance that was built ~1872 in thanks to the Virgin Mary for saving the city from the Prussians.  The tower is just a radio tower.:

Here is a picture of one of the many farmers' markets.  They are all over the city.  This one is in Croix Russe:

And, here is a view walking along the Saone River on the Old Lyon side:

More pix to come in later blog postings.
