Farns Niente

Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

  • The Halles that Paul (Bocuse) built
    Long before our day ended, my Apple Watch gave up from exhaustion after it registered almost 17,000 steps. But, they were beautiful steps – a long ways on the quai beside the Rhône river and to the Parc de la Tête d’Or. It’s gorgeous and huge with a lake, a rose garden (Nancy and I stopped and smelled each type that was blooming), huge trees of all varieties, a sad little zoo, and a botanical garden. Visited the ab fab indoor market Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse where the chef assembled the best of the best food purveyors in the city under one roof. Home to cook our purchases and crash.
