Lyon and Avignon

After our adventure to Paris we went onto Lyon.

They have the most beautiful architect and monuments.

We saw the Parc des Hauteurs which is this beautiful rose garden, and the Saint-Laurent de Choulans (St. Lawrence church.)

We ate at LoloQUoi, which has the most amazing pizza.

We had a basil, artichoke, mushroom pizza with cream sauce instead of tomato sauce.

It still makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Everything in the restaurant is lighted by candles too, which makes its really romantic. They have little candles on the table, and hanging candles from the ceiling. It was so nice.

We stayed the night at the Kyriad Perrache which has this outside patio area and bar and just drank all night.

We met this Italian couple having a honeymoon and sat with them the whole night. They talked about the wedding ceremony and all the arrangements, the families, and the food. They were definitely the cutest couple.

After leaving Lyon, we spent the next day passing through Avignon to go to Nice. (pronouced Neece.)

We went to rue de la République, which is like a huge market in Avignon. They have the big departments stores, but also the little outside markets.

It was fun.
