Another great find in Lyon is the ancient Roman amphitheare – or rather its ruins.  In its glory days this place used to seat about 11,000 spectators now the shows hosted here sit about 4500 people.  Despite its age, the world wars and time which has taken its toll on the buildings, this place still looks amazingly great.  Speaking of great and timeless things, Jean Michel Jarre played a concert in Lyon, his city of birth, to celebrate the arrive of Pope John Paul II in 1986 which was attended by 800,000.  That’s right 800 thousand people.
