Something to contemplate

Don't dream of where you see yourself in 10 or 20 years, start your journey today so you'll have a story to tell when you get there.....

Europe - France, paris, marseille, lyon and grenoble

By the river seine

Outside the Notre Dame chapel

Along the place de concorde

Along the river seine

Paris by night eiffel tower in the back we went on a illuminations tour then went to the moulin rouge




On the steps of the petite palais

Revellers from bastille day

Beach at Marseille

Trust the french looking down over this beach one rather well endowed woman was washing herself and just pulled down her bottom trunks and gave a good scratch while washing



Coffee and snails and chocolate crossiants did I mention diet?

Walking through a park on the way to the beach







Fairground in the background

Museum in Lyon

Great architecture but the one wet day in france


Views from our accommodation in Lyon


Church on the hill with gold leaf statue of Mary





Views from the chapel carpark


Inside







Streets of Lyon







Roman ruins in Lyon





Went for a tour around the chapel but it was in french but spectacular views but a long walk up the steps









Went for a hour's cruise down in lyon and here is some of the photos we took liked that city and it is well known for its gastronomic delights and the food we had there was nice













Now we are in Genoble and yes you guessed it at the time trials for the Tour de france, they even have king of the Mountain cars here

Lots of advertising and fanfare beforehand








Some of the free stuff we got when it was being chucked over the rails, wonder how much those hats will go on ebay










Start of the race









Picuresque grenoble

We took the cable car up the top of the fortress some height



View from the top, imagine riding up those alps in a bike

View from the fortress



Went for a walk through the tunnels







The cable car went up to this part and to get to where we took the photo we had to climb up another mountain












When we were up at the fortress we thought we would go to a gallery on modern art

Should try out modern art myself one room had a microphone on a string weighed down at the other end and going around in circles






Sme of the magnificent doorways they have
