Today we explored the old quarter, in Lyon, visited the Baptist church which is being restored and then we made our way up to Notre Dame.
We all rode the venicular up to the top to visit this amazing church which is all mosaic, even the floors. I will post some photos.
After our visit we explored the boutique shops and visited the Michelin stars restaurant in the old quarter.
After we had a three course lunch, Alex decided to take us on a long and arduous walk with many steps to climb, so that we can visit an old convent and the textile district, at least this is what he proposed to do for me.....but wait he did not read it right,
after our long hike, he finally confessed that the La Croix’iouse area used to be in the old days a silk trade area. We did manage to stumble across a fantastic mural on the side of a building, well worth the hike.
As it was very cold, Cara and I decided to opt out, go home and let the boys visit the miniature museum.
Tonight for dinner we will try tartin.
We are all enjoying the baguettes and pastries on offer.
