Old Lyon does have a very nice feel to it, I think one of the main reasons is..it is all so very well looked after. The buildings are very old but so well maintained, and the old cobbled streets are very clean...because cars are pretty well kept out of the area it does feel like you have stepped back in time.

Even though Old Lyon only covers a small area, I think that they have managed to cram the most eating places per square metre for the whole of Lyon.

Everywhere you look, you are looking at hundreds of years of history. It is worth looking carefully at buildings as there are little detials, such as statues, and decorative finishes built into each and every aspect of each building.

I eventually made my way through Old Lyon and found myself back at the River Saone. looking across the river I could see the food market was still on...at this moment in time my stomach reminded me "Hey, it's nearly lunch time!!".

So I made my way to my favourite food stall lady, who just happens to sell patisserie, and bought a big piece of Quiche Lorraine and a Lyon speciality...a Praline Tart!!
Sorry no food photos, I ate it all before I even thought about taking a photo......I hope Lesley enjoyed herself as much as I did today!
