Lyon, France |
Found some really old pictures of Lyon, France from a long time ago .. and thought i would share it with you. We actually arrived in Lyon from New York, it was a unexpected trip for my boss had gotten a call from a customer.. and wanted a demostration to our products. We took Delta Airlines if my memory didn’t fail me.. and it was only a 6 hours flight direct. So i was quite pleased .. that it wasn’t another long haul. Upon arriving in Lyon, it was already early evening. A walk nearby the hotel that we were staying in . .actually pleased me a lot because of the many cafes, eateries and bakery shops there. I was quite impressed.
It got dark really quick.. and this was only like 6.30pm.. if i remembered correctly. As you can see from the picture.. it’s a feeling of old mixes with the new here. Alot of bistros lined up .. along the streets.. and already some walk in customers to various restaurants there. Lyon is well known for its food.. and here you can get authentic french food .. and some of the best chefs in the world here. There were many art galleries .. including one that we went to.. for Contemporary Art .. that my boss liked best.
This clock was found in one of the churches.. I think it was the Cathedral of St Jean. I hear it had 500 yrs of history. Lyon’s night life is nothing spectacular like those in Paris.. but it was nice .. and it had a kind of quiet calm… during the nights. An olden days kinda feeling you get.. and to me.. it was like at anytime.. during those quiet moments.. one may just expect a white horse.. and a knight with shining armour appearing before you. Lyon is a charming little place..and i wished i had more than just 3 days there. I will write more about the hotel we stayed in next time.
