Lyon

He did not travel to Rome for his coronation.

Instead, he was crowned in the city of Lyon in France.

There were practical reasons to avoid Rome.

The city was chronically unstable.

Avignon was also near important trade routes and banking networks, making communication and finance relatively easy, at least compared to Rome.

Southern France was much more stable than Rome, and Clement had political business nearby.

Among other things, he planned a major church council in the town of Vienne, south of Lyon, which eventually met from 1311 to 1312.

There was probably no moment in 1309 when Clement formally announced that Rome had permanently ceased to be the papal capital.

Uh, and the person who said it is, of course, Caroline Falzelly, one half of Fish Wives of Paris.

Caroline is a Lyon-based sommelier, the owner of Lyon Wine Tastings, and a very prominent Lyonnais influencer.

I have seen you recognized in the street by strangers.

It happens occasionally.

One thing I do have to mention also is, two stories of what I really love about, of food memory.

So I was walking through Lyon.

When I went to Lyon, I had a list of Lyon.

I wanted to hit, uh, a very particular chocolatier that had been existed since 1910.

I think it was called Paloba, or I, I'll have to, I can't remember the name right now.

That what it was called.

It was called Palomas, P-A-L-O-M-A-S.

Anybody going to Lyon, go to this chocolatier, because it, it, it was unbelievable.

Section 2 of the Heptameron of the Tales of Margaret, Queen of Navarre, Volume 1. margaret of agoulme queen of navarre part two the most memorable events of margaret's public life date from this period francis who was determined to reconquer the milanese at once made preparations for a new campaign Louise of Savoy was again appointed regent of the kingdom, and as Francis's wife, Claude, was dying of consumption, the royal children were confined to the care of Margaret, whose husband accompanied the army.

Louise of Savoy at first repaired to Lyon with her children, in order to be nearer to Italy, but she and Margaret soon returned to Blois, where the queen was dying.

Before the royal army had reached Milan, Claude expired, and soon afterwards Louise was incapacitated by a violent attack of gout, while the children of Francis also fell ill.

The little ones of whom Margaret had charge consisted of three boys and three girls, the former being Francis the Dauphin, who died in 1536, Charles, Duke of Orléans, who died in 1545, and Henry, Count of Angoulême.

The king bore himself bravely, but he was badly wounded, and forced to surrender, after La Palisse, Le Sum, Bonivet, La Tremouille, and Bussy d'Amboise had been slain before his eyes.

Charles of Alençon was then unable to resist the advice given him to retreat, and thus save the few Frenchmen who had escaped the arms of the imperialists.

With four hundred lances he abandoned the camp, crossed the ticino and reaching france by way of piedmont proceeded to lyons where he found louise of savoy and margaret it has been alleged they received him with harsh reproaches and that unable to bear the shame he felt for his conduct he died only a few days after the battle there are several errors in these assertions which a contemporary document enables us to rectify The Battle of Pavia was fought on February 14, 1525, and Charles of Alençon did not die till April 11, more than a month after his arrival at Lyon.

He was carried off in five days by pleurisy, and some hours before his death was still able to rise and partake of the communion.

Chapter One: Childhood and Youth of the Saintly Curé.

Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, afterwards to become famous as the Curé of Ars, was born May 8th, 1786, at Dardilly in the South of France, not far from the city of Lyon, and was the fourth child of humble country folks.

His father, Matthew Vianney, and his mother, Marie Beluse, possessed some land adjoining their simple dwelling.

Despite the fact that they were not rich, they practiced the greatest hospitality toward the poor and needy.

Napoleon I, at that time holding the destiny of France in his hands, needed troops for his Spanish campaign.

These were raised by conscription, and notwithstanding the pleadings of his relatives and of several influential persons, Jean was drawn from military service.

The sorrow which he experienced at this sudden interruption in his studies was so acute that he became seriously ill, and had to be taken to the hospital, first at Lyon, and later at Rouen, the troops meantime having departed for the Pyrenees.

As a matter of fact, it came about that after a long absence from home, Jean was enabled to return to his native village without having performed any actual military services.

It was December 18th, 1994.

Jean-Marie Chauvet, Eliette Brunel and Christian Hilaire were exploring cliff faces along the Ardèche Gorge in southeastern France, a limestone canyon that cuts through the Rhône valley south of Lyon.

The gorge is dramatic, sheer walls of pale stone rising above the river, riddled with overhangs and alcoves, and the dark mouths of known caves.

The three cavers were systematic.

You know how I'm totally motivated by food.

So I definitely want to go to Lyon and Nice and Bordeaux for the wine and Loire Valley for the wine.

And gosh, what's the city in the south where it's like...

I was the gift, surprise gift to someone for their 60th birthday party.

And all these French rock stars backed me up and learned all my music and flew me out to play.
