Lyon — Vacation travels

Place Bellacour in the center of Lyon.

Lyon Cathedral

View of the city from the Basillica in 2011.  The round reddish building on the right is called "The Pencil."  It is located just outside the Lyon City limits, so not subject to the height restrictions.

Same view from the Basillica, in 2017.  The Pencil is now accompanied by 'The Eraser."

Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourviere.

Ancient Roma ruins in Fourviere, near the Basillica.

"The Weight of One's Self" is set along the Saone River, next to the pedestrian bridge and in front of the Palace of Justice.  Although at first it appears to be a man heroically saving another, the man is actually carrying himself. The artists

Two rivers rucn through Lyon, the Rhone and the Sonne.  Lyon was occupied by Nazi forces for much of World War II.  When they were finally forced out they destroyed all the bridges on their retreat.
