Pictures of Lyon!

The Rhône, one of two rivers in Lyon that converge at the one end of the city and form the triangle-shaped neighborhood called the Presqu'île ("almost-island"). This is where downtown Lyon is.

View of the Basilica from another hill. Lyon is very hilly.

Fountain close to the mairie (mayor's office).

Basicila (La Basilique).

Painting inside the basilica.

Tower in one of the courtyards of Vieux Lyon (the old town). There's a "homeless" guy who lives in the top of this tower but because he's lived there non-stop for thirty years, French law says that he now has officially earned the right to stay there free of charge and he can't be kicked out.

One of the courtyards.

River in the evening.

Buildings along the river in the eve
Ok, so I found my other memory card. Here are the pictures I took of Lyon! Lyon is the second largest city in France and it was so gorgeous.
