Lyon is not very far from Geneva, but for some reason it doesn't attract me... Maybe if I go there I'll like it, but for now I have other places in mind to see, including a few in France

| Fontaine Bartholdi at the Place des Terreaux |
This postcard was sent by Loic
The Place des Terreaux is a square located in the center of Lyon, France on the Presqu'île between the Rhône and the Saône, at the foot of the hill of La Croix-Rousse in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon.
The Fontaine Bartholdi is a fountain sculpted by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and realised in 1889 by Gaget & Gautier. It was erected at the Place des Terreaux, in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, in September 1892.
The fountain depicts France as a female seated on a chariot controlling the four great rivers of France, represented by wildly rearing and plunging horses, highly individualized but symmetrically arranged, with bridles and reins of water weeds. - in: wikipedia
Lyon foi a 1ª cidade que visitei em França. Não estive lá como turista mas ainda assim gostei do pouco que vi. Com tanto que há para ver em França, é normal que não esteja no topo da lista de muita gente mas ainda assim, se tiveres oportunidade, passa por lá.
ReplyDeleteA principal razão de não ter muita vontade de lá ir é por ser a terceira cidade mais populasa de França e eu não gosto muito de cidades muito populosas... Mas quem sabe um dia.
