France photos, (5) Museum touring, October 2019


Lora took all these photos of our trip in France (24 Sept to 2 Nov 2019)

These photos start on 3 October in Paris, and end about 11 October in Lyon (France).


(I took over 2 hours of videos of France.

And I wrote a summary of our trip.  Those can be found on my Vacation Stories website

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vacation-stories

Inside the PDF of those topics, are links to videos of the trip.)


After our 8-day Backroads Biking Trip, we met with another “just retired” couple, 

and we started a 1-month tour of France, with special attention to museums.


During the first 2 weeks, we toured Paris, Lyon, and Avignon.  

In the last 2 weeks in France, we stayed in a hotel in Nice. 

And we did some side trips, usually getting there by trains.


We typically got around in France, using trains.  

We had all obtained a  “Eurail Pass” in advance of our trip.


We finally returned to Paris, and then flew home by 2 November.

23.  We took a specially designed train (a funicular train) to reach the top of a mountain, to reach this church (La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière) in Lyon.


29.  Inside the church at Fourvière (Lyon)

The floor is made up of all these tiny pigmented stones, which are bonded to the floor in this pattern.


Similarly, the Church wall are covered with artworks, which are also tiny pigmented stones, bonded to the walls.
