Lyon market pictures [View all]

I got to spend a few days in Lyon with an old friend. The market scene is ridiculous. Just around the corner from his house is a square that seems to have something every day. Mostly food. Then there is a main street that seems to have a market set up most days of the week, but on Tuesdays it must stretch a kilometer on both sides of the street. They sell everything. I would say that food is near 70%.
