Agrippine - December 25th 2018

Like often when travelling, I explore a new city with @urbirun. 10km to visit Lyon, and move my legs. The route is flat, I loved running down along the Rhone river to the confluent , and then upstream the Saone River et remonter La Saône. My eyes enjoyed the Green Cube, the Orange Cube, with a beautiful finish through Lyon Old Town. Have to do it again, everywhere (cedrun33 on instagram and facebook)
