Lyon

The Rhone River is covered with several pedestrian bridges.

The French have the most interesting and beautiful shop windows.

One of the most famous murals in Lyon.

Lyon is a beautiful city between the Rhone and Saone Rivers. It's about an hour drive from our farmhouse in Balmont.

We've been in twice since our arrival last Saturday. The first visit was to bring Will to the train station and the second trip was for the girls to shop.

While the girls went off to spend their money, Joe and I walked around taking in the sights, smells and feel of this ancient city.

Lyon boasts over 200 wall murals painted on city buildings. We found 4 of them.

Everywhere we looked there is something interesting to see.

  1. I see you did some serious window-licking! I love seeing pics of French window displays - they are always so artsy, the designers really stretch to make something unique. I would love to see them in person one day!
