Our first full day back in Lyon happened to be 3 September so we stumbled across this:
The 3 September is the day the UK and then France declared war on Germany so I had thought that was what was being marked in Place General Brosset.
But then a quick Google tells me that Brosset and his men liberated Lyon from the Nazis on 3 September 1944 – so I guess it was that they were celebrating.
Thrown to (the) Lyon 
One thought on “Le trois Septembre”
