2 October 2021 Lyon Museum at the Confluence

 


This museum id housed in a futuristic building right where the Rhone river and the Saone river meet.  We had a lunch reservation so instead of going in to see al the displays we walked the grounds and went up to the top for a panoramic view of Lyon.  Along the river we saw canal boats that have been converted to house boats.  We also saw some dragon boats and swans.  The building is amazing and sprawling.  We could see in all directions and the bright sunshine was toasty.  



The building looks totally different from each side


One big leg holding up the place


Windows and solar panels are up on top


I wonder what gas mileage he gets


A bridge for trams and pedestrians.  They have benches to sit on and watch the river

Finally a way to use those giant letters they found at the garage sale

Some modern buildings.  The rust colored one is the Hotel of the People

A fine day to be on the river
