Roaming La Croix-Rousse

On a cold afternoon stroll in the hillside neighborhood of la Croix-Rousse ("the redhead/ginger cross"), named after a reddish stone cross that stood at the old city gates


Old archways of this former silk working town led us into cross-cutting alleyways


A small park was smattered with imposing vines and neon chairs



and community notices, art and ancient history.



A medical office offered hynposis


We popped into this oddball bar for an afternoon panache 


Celebrity faces gawked at us from the walls


Johnny Hallyday made a second cameo by the liquor, looking terrifying as ever.
