Saturday September 28, Lyon

Another day in France, so that meant another day of spectacular cathedrals, museums, and food! This time, in Lyon...

Here's Jill outside the cathedral/basilica of Notre Dame de Fourvier overlooking the city of Lyon:

And another shot of Lyon from the same spot:

Inside the cathedral (every square inch was painted, decorated, or covered with tiles):

Looking at the left side:

And up on the right side:

Then it was on to the Fine Arts Museum of Lyon...

Here we are in front of "L'Ascension du Christ" (1496-1498) by Perugin:

And here's a wooden model Bartholdi did in planning for the Statue of Liberty:

Jill in front of two enormous paintings by Le Suer (L) and Champaigne (R):

And Jill with a Van Gogh (upper) and Courbet (lower):

Jill with "Le Printemps" (The Spring) by Claude Monet (1882):

Jill with "Dancing Scene" by Degas (1889):

And finally, with "Young Woman with Flowers" by Edouard Manet (1879):

And of course no visit of a French city is complete without getting a crepe with Nutella from a street vendor!
