Lyon - Midi Minuit Confluence

02 Apr 2021 1 140
Many years ago, I spent a couple of weeks in Lyon, trying to learn French with the support of a French Language School (Lyon Bleu). It was a pretty mediocre success, but I liked Lyon so much, that since then I do return, just to stroll the streets, watch the Rhone - and have a great dinner. The "Midi Minuit Confluence" is a kind of very stylish brasserie. For me, it was a little "over styled". I di prefer proper "normal" restaurants ("bouchons") with a reliable quality. So I was a little in doubt, but - surpise - the food was really astonishing good. It was excellent, to be honest! FAUX FILET GRILLÉ Faux flet, smoked over beech wood, marinated in pesto, with fries and blue cheese sauce

Lyon seems to be a hotspot for hat shops. Normally these shops are rarely to be found, but here are two of them just a hundred meters apart. But "De Long en Large" actually offers much more than hats and caps for long or large customers.

It was a pretty mediocre success, but I liked Lyon so much, that since then I do return, just to stroll the streets, watch the Rhone - and have a great dinner. About once per week, I walked to this laverie and washed my clothes. I have always loved to hang around in these laundromats. The mesmerizing noise, the fresh smell and the wheels, that go round and round..
