7.3 – Yet More Tiles

We visit tiles stores in Lyon and learn more about what we like and do not like. At last we discover a couple of sets of tiles that we are happy with.

Stained Glass Metro

Some metro stations are prettier than others.

2.1 – Braving IKEA on a Saturday

We brave IKEA and Leroy Merlin on a Saturday to check our choices and to see the latest changes to the catalogues.

Winter Daffodils

Daffodils! In the middle of January!

Mounted Police in the Park

The mounted police drew a small crowd of onlookers as they tried to encourage their horses to walk a banner.

La Roseraie

The rose garden (la roseraie) in the Parc de la Tête d’Or has an abundance of flowers at the moment. For a lot of the year it sits there quietly, unadorned, in shades of green.

Bee Hotel

Our nearby park has a bee hotel. This structure, filled with drilled logs, hollow sticks and dried mud, provides a home for native bees.

A Little Coffee

This is a fairly familiar scene, especially as the weather warms up; people dotted around restaurant terraces to have a quick coffee, or to linger a little and watch life pass in the square.

So Many Flowers

Each visit to our nearby Parc de la Tête d’Or brings a new wave of spring flowers to delight in.
