Literally headed back west today from Turin to Lyon, which is a four-hour train ride thru the low alps, making a lovely bookend to day one when I saw the Alps from the sky. It’s clearly fall here now, the leaves have changed color and the snow line is getting lower.
Great views from the train lasted the entire route.
Jean, Claire and Huges met us at the station and we drove to old Lyon to our hotel. After sampling some Lyonnaise food for lunch, we made a beeline to the puppet museum so I could do some research for a forthcoming production. Too many pix that my phone died, but here are just a few.
Guignol is the name of the main character in French puppetry that also bears his name. He represents the a French silk workers who plied their trade here in Lyon.
I leave you with Pinocchio and his friends, as I head off for the evening. A bientot!
