LYON....

A French student very kindly gave us a map with recommended places to visit in Lyon. We arrived in Lyon at 11.30 and our train home was at 6.30, there was too much to do and too little time!

Botanical gardens in Parc de la tete d'or

We then visited the Museum of contemporary art was really interesting, varied ideas about art and a mix of media...

 

 Pretty slack the exhibition staff didn't even mind this kid running in the middle of one of the art pieces!

 Over the river and up a million stairs. view from Croix Rousse.


Found an English pub called 'the Dogs Bollocks'
But they still didn't serve a normal cup of tea!

Lyons old town, over the river Saone

 There is a lot of street art in Lyon including graffiti in places you have no idea how they got there.






 But most of all the beautiful building high murals.

 I am hoping to go back to Lyon soon as there is a lot more I want to explore...
