We woke up early to repack into one suitcase, as Catherine prepared to leave for Poitou. We had some time to relax and read, which was rather nice. Then off to the Gare de Lyon via Metro, which worked very smoothly, and we loaded into our first-class compartment, which was so nice and roomy. Barney and I read the whole way, as it gets dark so quickly at this time of year. The train was so fast, and we got to Lyon in two hours, amazing.
Davidson met us at the train, and took us on foot to their wonderful apartment in the 2nd arrondissement. On their apartment on the first floor in the back, they actually have room for 8 people (though only one bathroom). We had some wine and cheese which was nice. They took us to a very traditional Lyonnaise restaurant called Abel, which had delicious salads and Bourguignon which was wonderful. Tired from a long day although we did not really do much, we came back to the apartment to get to bed early.
