That's really the name of this cafe on Place Bellecour, and it has the amazing amenity of free wifi! So, after a day of running around town confirming arrangements for my students, I am able to sit in this beautiful square with a glass of bon vin and prepare for tomorrow. I think that perhaps cafe-sitting will be a required course for my students. Lyon is as beautiful, lively, and relaxed as I remember it. This evening I will cherchez un bon restaurant as a special treat for my students' first evening in the city. After that, September is a month filled with dance events each day, French lessons, and our own modern dance technique and composition classes. I have an idea for a video dance that we might create and recreate in various venues during our stay. Today I discovered how interesting it was to dance on the wide, stone steps that lead to my apartment in a graceful, old building. We could dance on the steps that lead down beside the slightly creaky, but very charming filigree elevator.

Wendy, how wonderful. I'm so glad you will be able to share this experience with us.
Wendy, I am anxiously looking forward to joining you in Lyon with the students and to be able to share the wonderful surroundings of the city! I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us. See you soon :o)
This is great! Welcome to the world of blogging! I look forward to the next post!

well color me impressed. I can't tell you how much fun it is to walk around saying 'so I was reading my mother's blog and...'
Lyon looks amazing as ever of course. And I assure you that wifi on the Dartmouth Coach is in no way more impressive than wifi in place bellecour. I know where I'd rather be... even if you can't watch Moonstruck in France.
Be sure to let us know how the nice dinner goes. I can taste quenelles as I type.
