Lyon is the third largest city in France, with about 2.3 million people living in its metropolitan area. Situated at the convergence of the Rhône and Saône Rivers, it is considered the birthplace of cinema—pioneered by the Lumière brothers here in 1895—as well as a major culinary center. In the center of the city, located between the rivers, is Place Bellecour, a tree-lined public square with flower stalls, a small art museum and a seasonal ice rink.

bc 1 (one) person said yes (i know its sooo specific but ) :

my thoughts on Sanji being french and specifically from Lyon cause its the capital of gastronomy (and it would make him automatically less annoying than if he was from paris) SO

he works at Zeff's Bouchon (local restaurant)

he occupies a little half room in the Hill of Croix Rousse and walks all the way to Bellecour to work

he goes to the market every monday morning, his day off

he meets zoro when he gets lost in the Bellecour place trying to go to the docks

sanji tries to explain the way to him

zoro doesnt get it

zeff, seeing an opportunity for sanji to make friends to get rid of sanji for the day, he tells him to walk the guy there

he meets the mugiwara gang on the docks (just the east blue gang my brain is too small for so many characters)

luffy lives with his brothers (theyre in university, hes just vibing)

idk what nami does but shes loaded

usopp owns a bike repair shop

zoro half works a shit job like maintenance or delivery and half works his ass off at the dojo

theyre all friends and spend their enormous free time together like in a 2000s sitcom

they integrate sanji into the group

zoro and sanji kiss on the ferris wheel in early december bc its corny

zoro ends up spending way too much time in Zeff's bouchon for the guys liking

thats it for now

Robespierre siblings meet privatly with Joseph Fouché after the atrocities commited in Lyon (dubious historical accuracy)

( Not my typical post and not one which has no trustworthy sources listed but I thought it was a fun enough thing to share)

Fouché had first approached the Girondins, then, demonstrating the opportunism destined to characterize his long and troubled political career, he aligned himself with the positions of the Jacobins with the vote in favor of the death sentence of Louis XVI. This sudden political repentance had reinvigorated his friendship with Robespierre, allowing him to become a rather frequent visitor to the apartment in rue Saint Honoré, where he had had the opportunity to court, probably more out of calculation than out of love, the sister of the "Incorruptible", Charlotte. The marriage project, initially encouraged by Robespierre, had however vanished due to the wicked conduct of Fouché during his mission in Lyon. His predecessor, Couthon, had limited himself to attacking the symbols of Lyon's prosperity. In October 1793, after giving a violent speech, he had personally inaugurated the demolition of the aristocratic palaces overlooking Place Bellecour. The Convention had been disappointed by such a moderate approach and hastened to replace Couthon with Fouché and Collot d'Herbois. Without interrupting the city's demolition programme, which had indeed continued more quickly thanks to the use of gunpowder, the two deputies on a mission had undertaken to wash away the shame of the sedition with blood. Judging the guillotine too slow and inefficient, they had arranged for recourse to cannons loaded with grapeshot to carry out capital sentences. In April 1794, about ten days after the execution of the Hébertists, the most radical and extremist wing of the revolution, Fouché was called back to Paris to give an account of his work. Sensing the pitfalls of the new political climate, before leaving Lyon Fouché had taken care to send the executioner and his assistant to the gallows, cumbersome witnesses of the massacre he had perpetrated. However, this precaution had not strengthened his position. The Convention, still shaken by the elimination of Danton and Hébert, had coldly accepted his justifications, referring them to the Committee of Public Safety for consideration. In a private conversation, held in the presence of Charlotte, Robespierre had shown such contempt for Fouché's stammering apologies that it sounded not only like an official break in the engagement, but worse, like a death sentence, to be carried out at a later date. Instead of waiting with resignation for the indictment that would have led him to the guillotine, Fouché, animated by the strength of desperation, had decided to play in advance, challenging his powerful opponent. With unwavering determination he had pledged to weave a wide network of relationships within the Jacobin Club, where the brutality he had shown in Lyon was considered by many to be a patriotic merit.

Day 2 - Lyon (04.01.2023)

This morning I had breakfast at the hostel and planned the day while I drank my coffee. I wanted to see more of Lyon and to visit some museums.

So I started with the „Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourvière“. To get there, you have to take the „Funiculaire“ - an absolute highlight for me (also it was included in the ticket for the subway). The Basilica is very breathtaking - from the inside and the outside! Besides the Basilica you can also visit „Les théâtres romain“ there - also very impressive. After taking the „Funiculaire“ back down, I walked through „Vieux Lyon“ and its beautiful little streets. There is also another must-see: the „Cathédrale Saint-Jean“. After that I walked through „Presqu‘île de Lyon“ and visited the „Place Bellecour“.

Since it was very cold today, I wanted to visit the „Institut Lumière“ - a Museum about photography and film. The brothers Lumière invented the „cinématographe“ in Lyon. But unfortunately it was closed for renovation. So I decided to go to another museum: the „Musée des Confluences“. This museum is about science and other topics. I was very surprised because for students under 26 years old the entrance is free. The exhibitions there were very impressive and interesting! I‘ve learned a lot.

In the evening I went out again with the French girl and she showed me some typical French dish - „Charcuterie“.
