My roommates went to Grenoble for the weekend so I was left to my own devices. I would have gone with them had I not had to work on Saturday (bummer). But luckily I did work on Saturday, because I accepted the invitation of my co-workers to join them for a drink after my shift. It gave me the chance to get to know the people I work with as well as practice my conversational French. I didn't stay out late on Saturday night which left me nice and refreshed for my 'Dimanche Lyonais'.
I woke up and made myself some coffee. Looked out the window and didn't see a soul in sight. I decided to do some laundry and catch up on the episodes of
Newport Beach that I missed this week (yup, french repeats of the O.C.). After breakfast I read my book and did the dishes and took a nap. I woke up at 4:30pm and decided I needed to get out of the house.
Empty streets of Lyon
I was under the impression that nothing would be open, but alas, I ventured on a stroll through Vieux Lyon. People were everywhere! And not just people, tourists! I love discovering places that people go on Sundays so I was thrilled to find hundreds of people from all over the world walking through th 5e arrondisment.
Turns out, on Sunday afternoons in Lyon, people get ice cream, sit on terraces watch street preformers and walk a lot. As per usual, I've included some pics of the day:
