Lyon!
After Arles, we spent two days in Lyon, culinary capital of France. We stayed in a Best Western. How ironic.
I thought this window with the star was really neat. I've never seen anything like it before.
The French really like their Ferris wheels. They get them all out for Christmas along with the ice skating rinks. Where they keep it all the rest of the year, I have no idea.
The furnicular we took to get up to the chruch on the hill (I already forget it's name).
We had to turn in our rental car in Lyon and take the train to Paris.
It was a new car that made a really obnoxious beeping sound when you drove without your seatbelt. Dad always forgot. It became quite annoying after the first day or so. Also, Dad thought he remembered how to drive a stick. Oh, but we found out the truth. The hard way.
He didn't quite manage to navigate the narrow streets of Arles. Notice the nice long scratch along the bottom of the car.
If you don't know, movies were invented in France courtesy of the Lumiere Brothers. This was their house that has now been turned into a museum.
