Lyon Day Two
First to the tourist office (like all in France remarkably well run, we bought a two day Lyon card...best deal ever..all museums, metro, guided tours, boat rides. Amazing). First stop, the Musee des Tissus and Arts Decoratifs...the textile and decorative arts museum. Pretty cool. Lyon was quite wealthy in the Renaissance because of the textile and silk industry. With that money they bought nice stuff, which you see here. No photos allowed, but a fun couple of hours.After lunch, we took the (free!) guided tour of Vieux Lyon. We'd walked around the day before, but this was excellent. Nicholas explained the various renaissance styles we saw, and pointed out that Lyon has one of the largest collections of extant renaissance houses.
Cool house.
