Lyon, oh Lyon. While you’re still miles away from Paris and are not known as the city of love, you made me fall in love with you. I was delighted to spend Valentine’s day in Lyon, but never realised I would be all by myself that particular day. The other crew members were joined by their loved ones and I was the only one who was… alone.

But Lyon, I saw your pretty side: your old town, your beautiful roman theatre, the big basilique and the rhône river running through your citycenter as your veins would do through your heart. I loved your petite salons du thé, the restaurants and the beautiful Place Bellecour, the heart of your soul.

Thank you Lyon, for lighting up my Valentine’s Day and for letting a Dutchie fall in love with you, you beautiful French city. I can’t wait to see your trees in full bloom and your flower filled fields. Shall we meet again during spring? I’ll bring some sunshine, promise…

xoxo
