What do you wanna do today? I dunno, let's go to Vienne!

I had the day off yesterday, so Sarah and I decided to hop on a train and check out Vienne. It's about 30kms away from Lyon, just a short train ride away. It's a charming old Roman town with tons of history, a couple of ruins and a kick-ass jazz festival each summer.

The weather was kind of iffy, but we made the best of it. We walked around the town and decided to make our way to the fine arts museum, only to find out it would be closing in a few minutes for lunch (I always forget about that). So we decided to go for a stroll and grab a long lunch.

After our chicken curry, steak haché and Sarah's chocolate mousse - or Verrine d'Automne (Automn in a glass?) we played a little game I like to call....Ultimate Tourist.

With our map in tow, we hit up the following:

We took pictures along the Rhone river
Saint-Maurice Cathedral (It was pretty nice in there)Archaeological Gardens
Museum of Fine Arts
(Most. Clutterred. Museum. Everrrr.) Mont Pipet and the Antique Theatre

It's a really charming city. I think I speak for both of us when I say a good time was had by all. I love that all this can be done by hopping on a train. Only a 15 minute train ride away, yet it's a completely different environment. Just one of the many things I love about France.
