Location: Lyon, France
I know it’s been a while since my last post but I’ve
been incredibly busy working on a project which meant that I didn’t have much
time to travel at all. Though, at the end of November last year I actually
managed to leave said project alone for a week and made my way to Lyon, France
by car. I’m aware that driving is not the most environmentally-friendly way to
get around, but since I helped out preparing the trade show presence for a
company exhibiting at the POLLUTEC 2012, I was not the only one that needed
carrying across the whole country of Germany… There was also a bulk of goods required for equipping
and decorating the exhibition space travelling alongside me. After nine hours
of being comfortably seated next to a decorative flower-box, three glass vases
and numerous boxes full of company handouts in different languages, we arrived
in Lyon.
Just a few weeks prior to the POLLUTEC trade show on November 17th, a new tram route (T5) was opened, connecting Grange Blanche Station and the exhibition centre. A tram journey from the exhibition centre to the centre of Lyon takes about 30 to 45 minutes and includes one change. This really makes it easier and more convenient for exhibitors and visitors of trade shows to get to the fair ground from the city centre of Lyon. It certainly worked for us! Besides using it for our daily trip to the exhibition ground we got on it to reach the very gorgeous city centre of Lyon, which is where the following pictures of me where captured.
Just wondering, since we took the tram every day, maybe
this can make up for the many kilometres covered by car at least to a small extent,
no?
Hope to see you again next time.
Yours August
