Brasserie Georges

Brasserie Georges is a very large brasserie in Lyon that can sit up to 500 diners!
We enjoy going there once in a while for family dinners.

I wanted something light so I order a prefixed menu that comes
with some lentil salad and grilled salmon with hollandaise sauce,
which wasn't very good...
Everyone in the family told me I should order choucroute ou steak tartare when at Brasserie Georges.
Darn...

Still it's fun to eat in a big hall and watch people.

Lac des ilettes Big Catch

It's Mont Blanc on the background.

I was at Lac des ilettes for a barbeque party
and saw this awesome big catch by an amateur fisherman
while taking a stroll around the perimeter of lake.

The fisherman was very gracious and let me take a photo of him and his beautiful golden fish.
