Lyon was surprisingly big (it's France's second largest city) and full of life. We wish we had more time in Lyon. It's really a lovely city and has a lot to offer similar to Paris but without the hustle and bustle of Paris. We also thoroughly enjoyed Franck and Cristina's company! We plan to visit Lyon again for a longer visit.
McCay and nephew Franck reunited after 23 years!
Me and Cristina, Franck's wife. She and I connected immediately and share a love of shoes and a good deal!
A snack at Franck and Cristina's home of different cheeses, sausage, raisins, pickles, and olives.
We visited the La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere and it was a remarkable site. Here are some of its specifications:
La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere.
Interior of the basilica.
Beautiful ceiling of the basilica.
View of Lyon from the mountaintop ledge of the basilica.
Euronews building along the river.
Dinner at a an outdoor cafe in downtown Lyon: roasted chicken, au gratin potatoes, and a salad.
Lunch on the way to the airport: roasted lamb, potatoes, and salad. Cristina was a gracious host and is a wonderful cook!
On to our final stop on this epic trip...London!
