homeThe old part of Lyon, Vieux Lyon, has been around since Romans times when it was called Lugdunum. Vieux Lyon then had its own personal Renaissance 600 years ago. The buildings have a distinct Italian feeling in their design and their colorful yellows, pinks and orange. I will devote an entire blog to these buildings eventually, but today, I want to focus on the doors of these 600-year-old buildings.
As I walk by them, I easily imagine the people and events that have passed through them ....
Some have been restored or replaced.
An excellent example of restoration on the left; the entire building was recently fully restored.
Others perhaps well taken care of ....
These doors are par for the course in Vieux Lyon. There is nothing like a nice weekend stroll through the lively neighborhood. Where the walls echo the past and the doors whisper their secrets, beckoning for you to open them and see what is behind ....
Gros bisous et a demain!
Love, Charley
