Lyon-Part 3

Lyon is famous for it’s street art, so here is sort of a mix of all the different piece we stumbled upon:

Le Petit Prince hanging out with Antoine St-Exupéry (the author) and below them are the Lumières Brothers
Rue du Boeuf (Beef Street)
Place de la Baleine (can you guess what La Baleine is?!?)

Some other cool things we found on our wandering:

Hôtel de Ville (town hall)
Bartholdi Fountain (Same artist who sculpted the Statue of Liberty)

Our last day we went to the Resistance Museum, which focuses on the resistance efforts during WW2 in Lyon because Lyon was considered the capitol of the resistance movement. Really interesting, but not a lot of photo ops.

Then we headed to the Cathedral in the old town (it was closed the day before when we tried to go) and I happened to go in just before the Astronomical Clock went off (I tried to add a video but it doesn’t seem to be cooperating-sorry!)

We also may or may not have eaten at the same ice cream place every day…..

Brownie and strawberry
Rose Praline (which is the official sweet of Lyon-the Praline not the ice cream) and Clementine
Pumpkin chestnut, peach and praline (again)

All in all I really enjoyed Lyon and I would definitely go again and highly recommend it to someone who wanted to go somewhere outside of Paris!
