At the end of this past May (2016), I was in France, visiting Lyon and Franche-Comté, in the south and east of the country. It was an incredibly interesting and fruitful journey, culturally and artistically. It’s taken me quite a bit of time to go through photographs, and I’m not done yet! So, instead of waiting until I’ve finished with all of the photos, I’ve decided to put them out in batches.
So the first batch is now online! These photos give highlights of the early days of my trip — focusing on the city of Lyon. Lyon is a fantastic big city that is at the same quite livable and comfortable. And there is quite a lot to see there! I’ll go into a narrative about some of the artistic and architectural attractions in a future post. Here are some highlights.
Lyon is the ancient capital of Roman Gaul and the seat of the archbishop of Lyon, who also has the title of “Primate of the Gauls.” There are roman ruins as well.
You can see all of the photos I’ve uploaded in this flickr album.
More photos to come!
