Fete Du Quartier

Ya
Another festival called the 'Fete Du Quartier' of Old Lyon or Neighborhood Festival, happened the next week after the fete de la musique. Each neighborhood put on a festival. Since we are presently living in the old part of the city we decided to volunteer to help them get ready for the party. Our task was to stick hundreds of flowers to the cobble stone streets that would eventually lead to the huge square in front of Saint Jean's Cathedral, where dozens of tables were set up for neighbors to share food. In typical French fashion each family brought at least two bottles of wine. Corks were poppin' everywhere. Earlier that afternoon one young man came to a screeching halt in the middle of a narrow street so that a flower could be stuck to the side of his car.
