Amaaaazing stuff!
I'm reserving that WE for France's gastronomic capital, Lyon.
BTW, it's also been the country's football capital for thast seven years!!! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Good news I think I'll be able to get there on 24-25 of may, if I achieve my school testing!
Come on Sean Trane, you must be kidding!! Lyon had never been France's gastronomic capital! Have you ever visited Bordeaux?  Not only the best wine, trust me------------- Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. Salvador Dali. |

This sounds great; Have fun!
Lyon - Gastronomic Capital? Nah, I'm with Urs Blank on this one, Bordeaux has much more to offer, as do some nice small places in either Alsace and Provence.

Just look it up in ant tourist guide, it's written
The food in those Bouchons Lyonnais is unsurpassable.
    And it's got the most restaurants that are reknowned per inhabitants.
 If you don't trust me, trust Michelin.
 Guillaume,
I know Bordeaux, but the wines don't make everything... The people from Bordeaux have the best opinions of themselves, but they tend to ignore there is a world out there.
Plus Lyon has Burgundy, Beaujolais Maconnais and the North Rhone valley (Cote Rotie, Hermitage, St Joseph) ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

When it comes to wines, i prefer the Burgundy region for sure, but as far as Michelin, I prefer to make my own mind.

We will test ,music,whine food and sunlit terrases for you (while having a chat with our favourite musicians) and give you a detailed review...with PA rating included ... and yes the Bouchons Lyonnais have a great reputation even so I don't think my budget would allow it...

Gee I didn't know we were playing in Lyon or that we were playing 2 dates there. I just knew I had to show up in Paris early to mid May....
Anyone know of a place for me and Blegvad to stay? |

Salut Lisa,
first a big hello and myself and a lot of fans will be happy to see you on stage for the presentation of the faboulous 'Kew Rhone'....in fact the place is not Lyon itself but a small place called Bourgoin-Jallieu about 30 km ouside on the countryside! Normally in may this is just a gorgeous area to be! I spoke to Aymeric Leroy last saturday and he is looking for a nice hotel near the venue. As for Paris, I will ask Aymeric if he had already booked something for you and Peter...otherwise I can check out myself, if you give me the dates
à bientôt

merci bien Martin,
and thanks also for your kindness and the information the Paris dates depend on finding a place. Peter and I both had places to stay but they both fell through if a place were available for the entire month of May I'd be there maintenant, I have a ticket, a downloaded copy of kew.rhone., and a sense of humor eventually I'll need digs and a hot dress (dress not your purview, of course) Yours, LH |

Lisa,
if you are looking for a hot dress Paris is not the worst place, even so NYC isn't so bad either.
BTW I just got a mail from Aymeric Leroy....the concerts will take place friday 23/05 ("The Lodge") and saturday 24/05 ("Kew Rhone") in Bourgoin-Jallieu (Lyon), the accomododation on place during the concerts and the days before are taken in charge by Aymeric, (You can contact him under mailto:[email protected] - [email protected] ), but not your Paris stay. If I hear from a available free flat in Paris I let you know....Are you in contact with John?
à plus
Martin

yes but just very brief, occasional, fun late-night wine-soaked love letters... not much information...
he told me he couldn't possibly change any keys... I told him I might change some melodies... c'est tout kidding about the love letters I am invisible very bad correspondent worse with the phone drive John mad Peter B and I are asking around also re royal rent-free accomodations. wish there were more ways to say 'thank you' 'thanks' 'merci' |

Sadly, I quite simply can't make it for this one, much as I'd like to - a splendid line up with some of my favourite musicians in a beautiful setting and (hopefully) good weather as well; it looks like I'm fated never to see Kew.Rhone performed live (unless it's added to next year's RIO festival). I look forward to reading about it and seeing the photos! ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'
