summer I - france

 





we started in reims this summer and the beautiful sculptures on the cathedral would later cross our path again when we learned in naumburg that the same sculpturer or at least his workshop worked in both places. 


in beaune deac tried in vain to find the marey museum but to his dismay it had been closed and the contents shipped to paris.

more success in lyon with the lumiere museum and a wonderful street market just around the corner took care of breakfast and lunch. what an impressive villa! lyon itself was a bit of a revelation as we learned about the importance of the second-largest city in france as well as it's rather grand splendour. fab shopping in the old part of town with all chic french labels neatly lined up in gorgeous shops. so we stocked up on groceries and not on shoes (shame!) before heading south to carcassonne.
