18 Septembre
Staying out late in the Marais = missing the train to Lyon. Luckily, there was another TGV just 30 minutes later. I made my way through Lyon to our hotel to discover it was really quite nice, considering we only paid 67 euros. Bright, spacious rooms.
Vieux Lyon and Fouriere Hill are charming and full of history. The Basilique Notre-Dame de Fouriere is exquisitely detailed. The views from atop the hill are splendid, although the wind is quite brisk on this mid-September afternoon. On a clear day you can see Mt Blanc, 200 km to the east.
Fourvière Hill contains the oldest roman ampitheatre in France. The discoveries came while starting additional development to the area. I picked up some Medoc grapes, pain du champagne, peaches and some pastries at the local open air market. Easily the most flavorful grapes I've ever tasted. Later, I spent some time in the gardens around the old ruins.
