Markets in France are fun to explore and, happily, Lyon has a wonderful Sunday market that runs along the river. One section is arts and crafts and the other is produce, meats, plants, olives, cheeses and more.
We got a late start, got side-tracked by a couple of very chatty older women selling nice linoleum cut prints, and by the time we got to the produce, the market was closing down. We scrambled through and picked out enough produce to make a simple dinner in the tiny kitchen…potatoes, scallions, zucchini, cherry tomatoes and strawberries for dessert.
We added a couple of roasted chicken legs, and sausages to make a very nice meal.
It rained a bit late in the afternoon but we went for an after-dinner walk around the Old Town. The city was quiet after bustling crowds for most of the weekend.
And a view of the quiet streets on a Sunday evening.
It’s Monday morning now and we’re heading out for more adventure. We still have a few more days here before our departure on Friday.
