Absolutely amazing.1Even the ceiling.Since it was up on a hill, the view of Lyon was great.Roman theatre ruins! ... being set up for a show later that evening.When in Roman Gaul...A clock inside a different random church. I LOVE OLD CHURCHES.The basilica from the river.Medieval Lyon.Lyonnaise salade, foie gras terrine with fig jam and sweet bread.Pig skin sausage with mustard sauce, veal head and tongue with vinegar sauce.
