Dear listeners, dear listeners, I am indeed in Lyon, to go to a bachelor party (EVG) which will probably be the subject of next week, if I survive it, and since I am here, we will ask the question, that we don’t have the answer:
Should you visit Lyon?
FL: Lyon is a beautiful city, and the people of Lyon are nice
Yes, absolutely, I love this city and I have some ties there you see since I am a local girl and when I said 20 years ago that I was going to do an internship in La Rochelle, the people of Lyon told me “you’ll never come back, it’s so beautiful over there”… Eeeet it turns out that they were right.
FL: And yes, who doesn’t know La Rochelle!
So we know without knowing huh all the same.
In Lyon, when you talk about La Rochelle, you often hear: Haaaa Brittany, it’s beautiful!
– Uh no, La Rochelle is lower than Brittany
– Haaa the Basque Country, it’s beautiful
– Uh no… in the middle you know, the Charente Maritime, Oléron… Fort Boyar?
– Haaaaa yes, oysters!
– Yes there you go, among other things, we also have pineau
FL: It’s that we’re also a bit far from Lyon, it’s not that easy to get to
So there Fabien you put your finger on something. Crossing France in this sense is a bit of an obstacle course – all things considered: nothing to do with crossing your country on foot with a child on your back to escape the war of course – but we have several solutions :
FL: The car first?
Yes, it takes a good 7 hour drive, with children crying behind it’s nice, all of a sudden you abandon all your principles on screens and sweets.
There you’re not even considering carpooling, I did it once, I was stuck in the back between a little girl with smelly feet, a 2-meter guy who had run to be on time, all on a soundtrack of children’s stories, and a big clip of a driver who avoided the highways to enjoy the landscape…
FL: It almost makes you want to take the train, doesn’t it?
Yes, we can take the train from La Rochelle via either Paris – change of station – or by saint pierre des corps, it’s good for our carbon footprint, planet level we have good karma, we will be reincarnated as a little bird , perfect
FL: Are we talking about the plane or not?…
Yes, you can also fly from La Rochelle airport, it’s the most convenient and fastest, the problem is that it costs half of a PEL. Pi then in terms of carbon balance, karma is rather low, it’s a blow to reincarnate into something not crazy, like a glass of earth, or a dung beetle or an earplug what…
FL: Otherwise, at worst, we can go to Nantes to take an Easyjet
Yes but here I am not hiding that it is catastrophic for the planet so for your reincarnation you have to consider the cotton swab or downright the rectal thermometer.
FL: Thank you for this little barometer of reincarnation. Good Lyon it’s far but it’s beautiful all the same?
Yes Lyon is magnificent, it’s not just OL, traffic jams and guts, it’s another rhythm, it’s the lights, it’s business, heritage, culture, gastronomy, outings, life what! As in La Rochelle in not the same.
FL: Conclusion Should you go to Lyon for a walk, it’s up to you to decide
