Chasing Eggs in France 2023

After putting my washing out on the maiden and tucking into our new favourite breakfast, Rilletes on fresh bread, for breakfast we headed into the sprawling city.
The city's trams are very accessible but the aging metro, less so. A sizeable gap meant we needed to find assistance to get Dickie on board. Dickie hasn't seen such manhandling!!! 😳 but without a full inspection he seems to have survived OK.
First stop was the fan village. Baking hot temperatures in the cocoon of Place Bellecour but well organised. Nearly joined the queue to join the Gendarme instead of the queue for berets! 🤣
Next challenge was to walk through the muddle of All Black's outside all the bars to the funicular to the top of the city. Two attractions in one up on the Hill, the Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourviere and the view of Mont Blanc and across the city. Oh, and a bar, first beer of the day was very welcome!
On our return to terra firma (never a fan of heights) we had a well earned lunch in la rebublique where Kev managed to catch some Friday Ryder cup action.
And, onto the Groupama stadium... bring on the game!Leer más
