Epic Honeymoon - Day 34 - Lyon

Beautiful buildings along the north of the Saône.

On our last day in Lyon, we set out with no particular plan. We started with lunch, returning to our favourite haunt of Rue des Marronniers and taking a second meal at Chez M’man, since we had enjoyed the first one. Unfortunately, the quality was not as good this time – or rather, our choices were a bit off. However, the lemon meringue pie for dessert was very nice!

Another beautiful day in Lyon.

Tuesday 17^th October was dedicated to some more organised sightseeing. As much as Lyon is more about the food and culture, there are some fantastic old buildings and sights to see, too.

Epic Honeymoon - Day 32 - Lyon

Beautiful leafy avenues along the river; I could get used to Lyon.

The next morning, after a lie in and a late breakfast, we returned to Rue des Marronniers for some lunch, this time going next door to Chez M’man. Both aiming for one of the offered set menus, I couldn’t pass on the intriguing entree of poached eggs in red wine sauce; and it was delicious! This, followed up with blood sausage – which was equally tasty – made for a good lunch. Avy’s steak was, unfortunately, overcooked, so it wasn’t smooth sailing all around!

Epic Honeymoon - Day 31 - Lyon

Clear skies and beautiful vistas in Lyon.

Departing Barcelona started very early; we were walking down La Rambla with our luggage at 6am to get the metro. At first, I couldn’t work out why so many Barcelonians were up and about at that time, but then I realised it was Sunday morning, and they were just heading home from a night in the clubs! Ahhh, youth! We made our way to the airport to farewell Spain, moving to the neighbour in the north, starting with a visit to the centre of food culture in Lyon, France.
