Last weekend I went to Lyon for the famous Fête des lumières. It was super crowded, but there were so many cool light exhibits to see! It was much colder than the sunny Montpellierian day I left, but we discovered an amazing Christmas market, so I suppose the weather was appropriate for that. I am not ashamed to admit that the first thing I did upon arriving in Lyon was get a Chai tea latte from Starbucks to warm me up. My first trip to Starbucks in France. It's not like I'm a hardcore fan or anything, but I really do like Chai tea lattes. I also tried a marron chaud for the first time!
It was nice that we arrived in Lyon in the daytime, because we got to explore the city a bit before the light exhibits at night.
See below for some pics!
