  Hi Don,
  As usual your pics and tips give a good insight into a city that I don't know well at all.
  
  Regards

  That is a good sign they have at the Museum of Fine Arts, listing things you are allowed to do! The Opera House in Lyon for sure looks different. Having an all black interior doesn't sounds to be nice at all.

  Hi Don, a Happy New Year to you also. My timing in Aix was a little off as I effectively only had one day. Although I wouldn't call it proper opera, I finally watched the entire film Topsy Turvy about G&S. Great period piece. Cheers, Karl

  How interesting to read about the " baby hatch," have never heard of it before! The Opera house too, being five stories underground, that's amazing too! The Opera house has a nice lobby and outside that I liked!

  The tips are excellent as always. I especially enjoyed the restaurant tips.
  Glad I returned to see the rest of the tips. Informative as well as interesting. Your keen eye is evident with your fine photographs.

  Hi Don, an excellent page giving broad coverage to Lyon. It is a city we will most certainly visit, maybe during 2013.This Sunday morning has been brightened by several of your photos, certainly a good eye for subject matter.

  It is not a surprise to find that your Lyon page was excellent! I have learnt a lot, thanks! Louis Pradel, « king of beton » was actually nicknamed « Zizi béton » as Zizi is an usual nickname for Louis but also, in child talk, names the male organ! Clavologie was coined from the Latin clavum (nail) and therefore is the study of nails !

  I saw a concert in Aix with Véronique Gens and Les Talens Lyriques this past Summer, wonderful. Beautiful new Lyon page you've got. Hope you are doing well.

  Thank you for visiting my Venice page. During our first stays we used to have dinner in a restaurant next to the Fenice. We were so sad when later we learned it had burned.
  
  I was very pleased to discover Lyon through your reviews. The problem with us Belgians is that we pass by Lyon on our way to the Mediterranean Sea but don't stop there except for the lines on the highway.
  
  I loved your comments on the Rhône. It's time to enjoy "une bonne friture de poissons de notre beau fleuve".
