6 - 8 December 2015
Lyon, the third largest city in France, is a treasure trove of architecture and history. I wanted to see more, but the weather was miserable so we spent lots of time in the art museum.

| It's not always sunny in France |
 |
| ... but even fog adds to the view |
 |
| Cathedral Saint Jean Baptiste |
 |
| Sharing the cathedral grounds are the remains of one of the oldest Christian churches |
 |
| A brief description of the images above and their history |
 |
| Moving tribute to the Paris victims. Some quotes: "Love, peace" "We are united" |
 |
| In the centre, you can read: - What do you want for Christmas, my child? - Peace, mummy |
 |
| A view over the city from Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière |

| Art preserved within the church |
 |
| Our second night in Lyon, our lovely host showed us how to cook frog's legs |
 |
| They're coated in flour |
 |
| Garlic and herbs are blended to cook with them |
 |
| Everything is fried |
 |
| They taste like a cross between fish and chicken |
 |
| We did have a little sunshine in Lyon! |
