We had a brief stayover in Lyon, France, on our way to Switzerland. Near our lodgings was a playground that was suspiciously empty during the day. We think the local kids were still in school!

| Familiar equipment |
 |
| Spider-man in training |
 |
| Another rope bridge |
 |
| Fun in general |
Next to the playground is the Church of the Sacred Heart. They were planning on building something akin to Montemarte in Paris but funding ran out. It's still impressive inside.

| Exterior |
 |
| Nave |
 |
| Main altar |
 |
| Organ |
The church has a lot of statues. I recognized many a French saint.
 |
| Sacred Heart of Jesus |
 |
| St. Anne altar |
 |
| St. Joseph |
 |
| St. John Marie Vianney |
 |
| St. Therese of Lisieux |
The Stations of the Cross follow the same classic style as the statues in the church.
 |
| First Station, Jesus is Condemned to Death |
The architecture in general follows the classical style.
 |
| Ornate columns and capitals |
 |
| A bit of the ceiling |
We enjoyed our brief stay though we did not get to see any of the more famous sites. Hopefully we will visit again!
