Horse

Taken from the "Place Bellecour", the horse of King Louis the 14th...

 

Strange animals

A summer in Lyon can offer some surprise ! You can meet dromedaries... Taken with my photophone.

 

Fireworks !

Today is the French National Day (14-juillet) and there are many fireworks in several cities... I am sorry but this photo was taken from the window of my appartment and I thought that the result could have been better than this... Next time I will have to show you less laziness to go out !

 

Sky

A strange sky from my window...

What can be found in a park...

Let me introduce you this lizard... I had some difficulties to take this picture during a walk in the biggest park of Lyon called "Parc de la Tête d'Or" but at last I succeded...!

 

One more... Fourvière !

I swear it : this the last time I show you a picture about Fourvière ! But this week I did a lot of tourism with my parents-in-law (you remember, they come from Japan !) and I wanted to show us the interior of Fourvière. It is a very wonderful church "oriental style" built at the end of the 19th century. I found those candles for prayers very beautiful so I decided to shot...

So you can have a complete view about our favorite church !

Arts in Lyon

Today, let me just introduce you our theatre called "Théâtre des Célestins". Under this monument, you will find a parking designed by Daniel Buren (yes, the famous columns of the Palais Royal in Paris)...

 

Delicious

Hello, I am back from a terrific journey in Paris. I took some good photos but as my blog is not about Paris, you won't discover them here (maybe on my other blog... Soon !).

Today was a day dedicated to tourism in Lyon with my parents-in-law, who are japanese. they discovered all the good places in the "Vieux Lyon" and, of course, I suggested to have a break drinking something in a bar called "le Savannah", perhaps the best place to drink delicious fruits syrups (Place du gouvernement, 69005)... I let you give your opinion about the photo !

 

Soon...

Please forgive me... I was on holydays in Paris and I took some nice photos... New posts are comig soon from Lyon ! See you tomorrow...

St Exupéry

Perhaps one of the most famous people from Lyon ! This sculpture of Antoine de St Exupéry, writer of the 20th century and who wrote "Le petit prince", can be seen near "Place Bellecour". The writer is next to his favourite character. maybe they are waiting for... a sheep !

 

Music

Sometimes, you meet some strange guy who takes his own pleasure playing the guitar in the streets... Earning money is, perhaps, the aim of this "musician", but he also thinks that passers-by will be delighted by listening to his music... But it is not always what we feel... !
