One City, Two Rivers (late posting for June 2, Day 153 of Project 365)~~
I’ve been fighting some serious jet lag and trying to get back to some important matters I must attend to here in LA. In the meantime, I’m trying to catch up on my 365 project, interrupted by inefficient WiFi capabilities of some hotels in France. This post is for June 2, the day we traveled back to the US. Since I didn’t have a chance to take photographs then, I thought I’d pay homage to one my favorite spots on the trip:the city of Lyon. I love cities that have some body of water around them, be it a river, a lake or the ocean. Lyon has two rivers: the Rhône and the Saône. The Saône is a right tributary of the Rhône, rising at Vioménil in Vosges and joining the Rhône in Lyon, just south of the Presqu’île. Here are views of both rivers from the bridges we crossed many times.
Lyon ~~ (For May 30, 2015, Day 150 of Project 365)
[Wasn’t able to upload my photos to WordPress in Lyon, France. Back in LA, I’m catching up on my 365 project by posting photos I would’ve shared on the missed days.]
Lyon is known for its historical and architectural landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lyon was an important area for the production and weaving of silk and in modern times has developed a reputation as the capital of gastronomy in France. It has a significant role in the history of cinema due to Auguste and Louis Lumière, who invented the cinematographe in Lyon.
Traveling Through Burgundy ~~
I had major problems uploading photos here in Beaune, France. Only managed to upload three (!) so far! The first was taken on the road to Beaune; the second was taken in Auxerre, where we stopped to visit the beautiful St. Etienne cathedral; and the third is the Cathedral itself. It’s a gorgeous gothic church and I took lots of photos inside it, but at an average of 30 minutes per upload, I just gave up…
Day 1 in Paris ~~
It was a glorious, beautiful day today in Paris and we walked for hours. I took lots of photographs from various places and planned to post a nice gallery of the best shots but I had so much trouble with the Wifi in the hotel that I gave up. I’m just posting one shot, this one of the Seine with the Rive Gauche in the background. More tomorrow, maybe…
