Musée Gallo-Romain de Lyon-Fourvière

Yesterday we took the funicular to the Musee Gallo-Romain, which is the Gallo-Roman Museum of Lyon in English. It is a site of the ancient Roman city in Lyon. It is very interesting if you are into looking at the way people lived 2000 years ago. i love visiting these sites because i find it […]

Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière

Finally, i made it to Basilque Notre-Dame de Fourvière. My friends (Tim and Carol) are here in Lyon for a visit, so we have been doing some sight-seeing, drinking excellent wine and enjoying the best food in the world, especially the French bread and cheese. The Basilique is locate above Vieux Lyon and has a […]

Worst of 2012

Worst list are probably easier to write for most of us, since it seems to be human nature to dwell in the past on the things that make us sad or focus on those that have wronged us in some manner. i used to be one of those people, but then i was able to […]

Perouges

Yesterday i went to Pérouges, which is a small commune up on a hill outside of Lyon. It is a really cute little village, but since it was New Year’s Eve it was basically empty. There were a few shops opened, one of which sells a pizza that was sweet. i forgot the name, but […]

Fete des Lumieres

If you read this and there are many mistakes, then forgive me because i am very sleepy. i was up late last night and will be for the next three nights. Why you ask? Because Lyon has a festival every year at this time, which is four days (rather nights) long. Fête des lumières (Festival of […]

Le Vieux Lyon

Yesterday we had a school excursion to Le Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon), which only five students took part and i happened to be one of them. If you know me, then you know that i do not like these kind of trips with a bunch of people, but i enjoyed myself. There is always a […]
