The past few days have flown by in exploration. My family and I have visited the Confluence museum, Beaux Arts museum, the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourviere, and each place couldn’t be more different from the others. The Confluence is an architectural feat with modern exhibits. The Beaux Arts museum features paintings and antiques surrounding an open courtyard with flowers, fountains, and sculptures. The Basilica and its gilded statute of Mary overlook Lyon, and the church on the second story is ornate with intricate mosaics linings the walls and ceiling. Thus far, we have also picnicked on Roman ruins near the Basilica, biked to the Paul Bocuse market (Vic and Boat were in heaven), and ate crepes and gelato in Vieux Lyon. Since we’ve covered this much in three days, I can’t wait for what’s in store.
