Dear Liza,
One of the best things about having a long stay in a wonderful city like Lyon is that you can visit your favorite places more than once.
We have been back to the Parc de la Tête d’Or four times, and keep finding new things! Miniature golf. Free Range deer. Climby ropey things.
And today, we found the Buvette de l’Observitoire, where they serve all sorts of lunches, desserts, and drinks. Auntie Bridgett and I shared a ricotta chou sucré, where ricotta cheese and pistachio cream are blended together and put inside a sweet bun. SO good! I also enjoyed a cider and Grandpa Nelson had some rosé.
We also found several new ways to get lost on the way to the Orangerie, discovering a bunch of peony beds that are blooming like crazy.
There was also some crazy turtle convention going on in one of the ponds.
By the time we got home, we had walked more than five miles…. And we do this A LOT. We could walk the park every day all summer and see something different every day.
117 hectares is a lot of park!
Love,
Grandma Judy
