I Think I'm Allergic to France

So clearly I'm not allergic to France as a whole, but just some of the trees in it.  Last weekend I made a day trip to Lyon, and had a very unpleasant, but minor, allergy attack.  I recovered on the train on the way back to Geneva, but would have liked to stay longer.  I left early on Saturday and the city seemed to be just waking up.  I wanted to see more (and eat more), since this town is known for the food. 
I'm not really sure what happened, but I ended up in a mall while trying to find a shortcut back to the train station.  
Lyon Opera House.
I fully intended to hike up the hill to this church until the whole allergy thing.
Just wanted to show you the trees that I am allergic to.

Houseboat!  This reminded me a little bit of London.

This train was going to Evian...like the water.

My fabulous lunch!  The sandwich and pastry cost less than six Euros total.  So delicious.
