Postcards from Lyon . . . Our Lady Reigns . . . the gleaming white Notre Dame de Fourviere basilica . . . high atop the hill overlooking the city.

A closer look at the facade of this sacred site  . . . built in a neo-Byzantine style of architecture  . .  a roman Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Below, the crypt of Saint-Jean . . . note the rather austere exterior contrasts sharply with the church’s richly decorated interior  . . . including gilt, marble, stained glass windows, and colored mosaics.

Stroll to the back terrace for  . . . a magnificent bird’s eye view . . . from the Hill of Prayers over the entire city . . . I’ll show you tomorrow.
