The Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere is a large church at the top of Fourviere hill. It's a large church, visible from a distance. The interior highlight is a set of six large, colourful murals, made of tiles, that tell the story of the Virgin Mary. After visiting the church we walked to the nearby Roman theater which is still in use for concerts and festivals.
And with this post we are done. We are packed for the flight home to Canada. The French people have been friendly and helpful, and the scenery has been varied and beautiful. Au revoir la France.
The backside of this narrow seven-storey building is covered with a detailed mural featuring famous people in French history.
It looks quite real, even close up, and reminds me of a similar, though smaller, mural in Quebec City.
