After breakfast at the InterContinental, we headed over to the Fourviere Hill. The ruins of the Roman theatres were closed due to wind but we could visit the Lugdunum Museum and Basilica of Notre Dame. After, we walked through Old Lyon before dinner at a bouchon.

Qui a failli être en retard à son rdv kiné parce qu'elle s'est faite aspirer dans une faille temporelle de dessin face à un trop beau panorama ? Merci le bus direct entre les quais de Saône et le fin fond de villeurbanne qui est en train de me sauver les miches...

Lyon mystery: I initially thought this was an outdoor oven for baking very long baguettes, but the passage extends far into the hill at a slight incline so I'm wondering whether it is a water catchment gallery. The area is apparently riddled with them, some serving to drain the soil and prevent mudslides and building collapses (like the one that killed 40 in 1930), others to provide water for domestic use or fountains. Some catchments are early Roman but I have no idea when this one was built. Kind of strange there was no sign for curious tourists. Maybe it's just totally obvious to residents.

L'accordéoniste de la basilique -2019

Régulièrement, je croise cet accordéoniste à la sortie du funiculaire de Fourvière. c'est toujours un moment sympa à passer, en l'écoutant jouer de son instrument.
