France, October 2019, Album 4


France photos, (4) 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.
