Personally, we like the finest green ones.<br />The last time I was in Lyon, I gained five pounds from eating so much.

It is the best... even the huge ones are so succulent. Much better what we used to have from Stu's asparagus patch. He finally plowed it under in favour of growing garlic and tomatoes. <br />We tried fresh asparagus from a market when we were in Avignon in 2015 and were so disappointed that it was tough and stringy. Hope your lunch was delish. It certainly looked it! <br />P.S. I see from Une Femme's post that they are on their way to Lyons as well.

Eek!

We had to make a long bus journey once when there were train problems . It was from Singapore to Kuala Lumper & turned out to be the highlight of the holiday - travelling with the locals & all their paraphernalia . That outfit is perfect for blending in & being approachable . Just what I would choose .
