“ Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it” Lynne has provided a really great quotation to work with this week and I'm pleased to say that it will be easy for me to create a post around this quotation. We have just returned from a Viking River Cruise, our tour was 'Portraits of Southern France' which started in Chalone sur Saone and ended in Avignon. Here are a few photographs to illustrate just how much we packed into our week, lots of looking around and trying not to miss too much!

'Hotel' is used as a term for many public bulidings, in this case a hospital run by nuns for the poor of the town of Beaune. Fantastic glazed tiles on the roof.

We moved on to Lyon, this is the Cathedral, known as the upside-down elephant!

Here I am in front of the 'Pont de Avignon'
And here we are at Pont du Garde a fabulous Roman Aquaduct
We had a fantastic holiday and saw so much, looking back at the photographs it's amazing just how much we did and how many incredible sights we took in. There are many more photographs which will, no doubt, be featuring in future posts!
