Lyon was a terrific place. Our first time in France, we didn't know what to expect. We found the people warm, the food warm and inviting and the city beautiful. From the medieval neighborhood to the street market every day except Mondays (picture below), we loved every inch of it (or every centimeter, since they use the metric system).
I do have to say that the French would be very surprised in learning what has been done around the world musically in the last 30 years. I say this because all their radio stations and restaurants/bars play music almost exclusively from the 60s and 70s. I think they would enjoy all the new music.
We ate wonderful things all over Lyon, but if I had to choose one, it probably would be this. Pork meat encased in a pastry with aspic on top. The one in the picture was purchased at the street market, but you could find them everywhere. Instead of pistachios, you can find mushrooms or peppercorns, etc. All delicious. We are going to have to try more of France...
