Lyon is far and away the most beautiful city I have seen along the way. I ran a picture yesterday that showed a castle or something that sure looks like it might be one I was trying to find.
If you check the perspective of the castle against the picture of 3D Street Art in Lyon, you will see I wasn't too far away from this artwork. Thanks to Yevette for finding this.
The chalk drawing wouldn't alone be enough of a reason to go back there but Le Tour de France will be there on Saturday and Sunday and several of you have said what a shame it would be to miss it. Instead of backtracking, another possibility is to go west from here to Saint Pourcain-sur-Sioule as Le Tour will go through there on July 13. I would arrive there on July 11 and perhaps could find somewhere cheap to stay for a few days until they come through. It looks like N79 (Soixant de Neuf) to get there. (Graphic map of Le Tour de France at The 100th Tour de France - 2013)
From Saint Pourcain-sur-Sioule my own Le Tour would then go to Tours, Le Mans, and Le Havre. That means no Belgium but I'm not seeing a whole lot of reason to go into Belgium just to 'tag it' or some such. I told you all I'm happy to be your eyes and ears for this so I believe I have today's Le Tour objective!
I have a very generous offer from Susan and Crap to put me on a train to get the rest of the way if I make it to Calais but I really think it's important to see this thing through all the way. Going to Stonehenge may seem corny but I don't feel that way about it at all. More North is lefty Unplugged who plays frequent RL live shows and that would be one major treat to attend plus I could shoot some video so you could see and hear it.
So, onward with Le Tour de Silas!
