  2. Restaurants in Burgundy, France

    Blog: An American in London - 11 October 2010

  7. Lyon, France: Artsy & Creative Lyon – Historic Cities of France

    This week I’m back to focusing on France, and one of my favorite cities in France is Lyon. Lyon is the second largest city in France and just over an hour by train from Chambery. It’s my kind of city! After 26 years in Los Angeles I have grown to appreciate and crave all that [...]
