Tres enchante' certainmente.

Whilst my being is Italiano........

I love being

in France.

I walk in fields of pink cornflowers in the capital of the Gauls.

 

Lyon is nothing like Italian towns, it is so much more Melbourne than I recall from my last time here or there for that matter.....

 

 

We are residentiment au vieux Lyon. Up only 58 steps to appartimentment le petit trammasac and just along from the Fourviere funiculare and the footbridge to the confluence of the Saone and the Rhone. This our courtyaaard.

 

 

 

 

I could not be better placed, I feel like I feel when under the blue blue sky almost.

The Lyon velo'v system s funtastique. Just insert a credit card with a living persons name on it and a bike appears at every street corner calling out ( well ring its bell a bit ) voulez vous roulez avec moi Marc?

This my biciclette du Lyon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This my local automation down the rue petit tramassac It goes off at 12.00, 14.00, 15.00 and 16.00 something o'clock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The church is very holy. They sometimes have power problems. This is where the Nuns keep the candles.

 

 

After church we funiculare dementia up the Fourviere.

From here

To here

 

 

The search for the steepest steps in Europe goes on.

 

And on

 

and then time for a gallery

This one foto I take in a hurry...

this the way into the Palais des arts at Place des Terraces.

 

very groovy kids toys at the Egypt room.

 

 

pulling the calf Egypt style.

hmmmmmmm

They pinched this from the stuff the Vatican stole from Ercolano.

this is in painted pine, I wish it were mine

No I don't really.

This is beautiful. I do like the three graces. I do like a painting of threes.

so wonderfully gorgeously poignant are the three graces.

I wish they were mine.

This is about hygiene apparently.

bought back some memories of my 27th birthday.

I want one of these.

I think she look good at the front gate?

 

into the painting gallery...

 

lovely skin tones don't you think?

 

 

You can't touch this

this why

I wonder what is going on.

into my arms

for a little kiss

Rodin, so French.

This a wonderfully thing, mon bateau ....

the Palais has a Chagall

And a Pablo

How magnificent.



Cezannes only nude. How famous, how fabulous. I wanted to nude up but the guards wouldn't hold my clothes.

This is my nearly favourite painting ever nearly. There are 6 others.

This is 36 things arranged and resolved. It took a life time for Jean Dubuffet.

He must be feeling good.

 

It is like Lyon is

Horses

 

 

dogs

and people

 

 

I love vieux Lyon and the Saone and the Rhone and bridges and the French version of the Italian sottopassagio, the Traboule and, I don't mind an 8 euro gamay from Beaujolais.

 

But I really like to

walk in fields of pink cornflowers




Ca Va

Marc.
