Lyon night and day

I’m in Lyon for the end of first year meeting on our EU-funded EvoEvo project.  The weather is as deliciously mild as it was at the kickoff meeting this time last year.

Down by the Rhône, the Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon looked wonderful in the evening.

The obligatory view from my hotel window captures the autumnal feel.

From the window, I couldn’t tell whether the building nestling behind the trees was a nuclear bunker or a waste recycling centre.  From ground level I discovered the truth: it is a school.
