This is an ecclesiastical clock that was originally constructed in the 14th century, destroyed in the 16th century, reconstructed in the 17th century.
It is card to see in this photo, but it shows what church readings will be used on any given Sunday. The little hand below shows the readings.
It is in the Lyon Cathedral:
After that visit, we stepped through a few more traboules:
and went to the Miniatures Museum. I didn't take many photos, as I found the place so darned odd.
Here is the Budapest Hotel (from the movie):
We also went to the Beaux Arts museum.
It had a Phrygian Cap! A real Phrygain Cap. I have always wanted one.
They also had some posters from the Revolution.
They also had a guillotine blade. Yes, a real guillotine blade. It had been used by the people who built it to intimidate the masses.
Be careful what you build.
A Salad Lyonnaise.
We had lunch at a local cafe.
It was probably the least delicious meal we had the whole trip.
Brother Matthew has a photo of this butcher's sign as well.
My theory is that if a cow had a meat cleaver, he wouldn't be chopping up other cows:
Another odd museums was the Automaton Museum. I have videos of this that I will post later;
We took a boat ride from the Soane to the Rhone:
This is the original wall to the city
The Confluence:
OH! Another swan.
That is our apartment building
It was nice.
That is our place.
We liked Lyon.
