2 October 2021 Lyon Out and About


On our way to the lunch we passed this quaint island with a tiny bridge leading to it.  So after lunch we stopped there for a walk about.  We went all the way across and gawked a bit more.  Them we plotted the way to the funicular and drove through tiny steep streets crowded with people.  There was a Roman Renaissance fair going on.  We kept driving along the top of the hill and really had a fun time just wandering.  Then we made it back to les Halles for more goodies to take with us when we leave tomorrow.


The Isle Barbe is a great little place to visit


River traffic is non stop


Lots of rowing
