Basilique de Fourviere

  • It is ok I guess but there should be more information.
  • It doesn¿t even say what Lyon is known for.

“It doesn¿t say what Lyon is known for! How lame!”

Au Pied dans l'Plat
Oct 21, 2006 by Guy from Caracas
Overall Rating: 10 User Rating Score: 10

  • Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere.
  • A bit loud. Better if you don't understand all they are saying.

“Crazy place, raucous humor, ribald songs, great atmosphere. The door is about four feet above floor level, and you enter by stepping directly onto a long table where lots of people are sitting and eating and yelling. They take time off from singing their ribald songs to voice risque comments on the ladies form and whistle and shout at the newcomers. You get more than you can eat. Pretty tasty by Lyon standards, unbelievable anywhere else. Lots of laughter and singing and shouting until late into the night, with plenty of wine. Also outrageously and unabashedly politically incorrect. An experience you will remember. Not for A retentive persons. At least, that's the way it used to be when I was a student at the Beaux Arts. I wouldn't be surprised if they have sobered up and cleaned up their act since those long gone days. But I would be greatly disappointed. Worth checking.”
