At last!

We had freezing temperatures for a couple of weeks but while the whole country enjoyed a nice cover of snow, in Paris, we did not! And then, overnight, the city had been frosted like a giant cake!

Last week-end we went to Lyon!
We've been hosted by Neige ( aka Nieves ), Carole's friend who comes from Taragona (Catalunia). She's been living there for about a year and gave us a very nice tour of the city. We visited the famous Basilique on top of the Fourviere hill, we had a dinner in a "bouchon" which are local bistros where they serve Lyon's specialties. We also had a few drinks and we visited the muppet museum, Lyon has a long history of muppets, the most famous being Guignol.
That was a real nice time, if you guys decide to go to the Alps don't forget to spend some time in Lyon.
