Today we began with classes at the University, with our tutor Julien. Then we were set on a mission; we had 20 questions to find the answers to in Lyon. We started in the best place, the café for lunch! Then we found the Tourist Information Office, took our map and explored the city. We climbed up to the Basilica (remember the big church?) using the funicular railway. What amazing views from inside and out! Then we wandered through the old narrow streets and asked a few shopkeepers for help.
One subject we had to find out about is the famous puppet from Lyon, Guignol, and Jacques took the chance to see how puppets are made here in France. Guignol is the puppet painted on the building we saw on Sunday.
We also had to find out how many times Olympique Lyonnaise have been champions of French football. Primary 7 were not here to ask so we headed for the Olympique Lyonnaise shop and asked a friendly assistant. The answer was 7!! I wonder if we could borrow their goalie for our next match at Pumpherston?
We hope you like our photos of today, now we’ll put our feet up before dinner…
Wow France looks amazing
