2011 Trip in France – a Quick Look
A quick look at some of the sights and events from our trip to France in 2011…
We visited Paris, the Lauragais near Toulouse, Lyon, the Jura, Provence, and Collioure near the border with Spain. In Provence, we rented a house right in the center of a small village, Cucuron, for two weeks… a wonderful spot with many great local people, but many problems with the house – more on this later…
Please see other posts for more info on our trip.
À bientôt…

Des Galets Bleus la Nuit Restaurant – Lyon (4th arr)
One of our favorite restaurants in Lyon, France, is owned and operated by a Paul Bocuse-trained chef, Brigitte Appaix. Here she explains how her resto came to be, and her commitment to fine, but not fancy, dining. Hosted by Courtney Spring, shot & edited by Don Connors; subtitles in French and English (when needed). I shot this video while staying in Lyon for two months in 2010 – one of many restos in this often tourist-overlooked city.

Getting Around Lyon: The Video
When arriving in Lyon, it is a pleasure to discover ways to get to around this beautiful city. Watch our Getting Around video for a quick overview:
Lyon is a crossroads in south eastern France. Since Roman times, Lyon has served as the crossroads of what is now France. Its two rivers have transported people and goods for centuries. Today, Lyon is a European hub with two major TGV stations, and its airport is international. It has a network of metros (subways) buses and trams that covers the entire city. There’s even a funicular that goes up and down the hill at Fourvière.
