The cloudy day made it hard to take pictures but my mother persevered and got some good ones - she really liked this cathedral. |

We had been slow to understand that by not hanging out at the bar before dinner we were missing the evening briefings by Raquel, the events manager, on the next day’s activities. I assume these were partly to encourage people to sign up for excursions if they had not already done so but she also describes the difficulty or other aspects to prepare for. She is very vivacious and entertaining so we made sure not to miss her later presentations. All these events take place in the spacious Observation Lounge which offers good views from its windows. Several times, I came down with my laptop to do homework.I should have taken pictures of the menus posted twice each day! Nearly every meal was delicious but they began to blur together. For dinner on Wednesday, I had goat cheese salad; Mediterranean Chicken Breast with risotto, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes; and Moelleux au Chocolat, which the chef had demonstrated in the afternoon. And wine, of course. The waiters fill our glasses attentively.These signs on the river amused us - do some boats really not know which way is Lyon?

Ooh, I didn't realize you were off on a trip to France! The photos are lovely and the backstory even better. I think I have missed out on previous related posts, so I'm going to look through them one by one. Thanks for telling us about it, feels like I'm travelling by proxy too. :) Hope you have a grand time.
I'm jumping in midway on your tour and I have to catch up on all the stops! What a treat for you to get to do this, thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for following along. We had been planning this trip so long and I am glad we managed to do it without any Covid disasters.
This all sounds great. I guess the activities / tours balance out the delicious food.
