Camino Photo of the Day: Saint-Exupéry

29 December 2023 Thom Photo of the Day 2023, Via Podiensis

I finally arrived in Lyon sometime after 5:30pm local time, or about four hours after my train left. I had managed to book another train seat, and here is the sign at the airport train station. The photo is a little crooked because I took it on the go as I was jogging to catch the train. And to be clear, this is not the train that will take me to Le Puy, the starting place of my pilgrimage. No, this is the station for the light rail that will take me to the actual train station in the city. I had a couple of hours in downtown Lyon until that regional train left, which I reckoned was just enough time to hit the gear store near the train station to purchase some new hiking poles.

I absolutely love the fact that the Lyon airport is named after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
