There are always people passing by and coming over to see us, asking us to sing some song or other

Maxime, a student in Lyon, helps us discover the banks of the Rhône

 

 

 

What do you like doing on the banks of the Rhône?

I really like this spot and the way it's been laid out. I think they've done a good job and it's really pleasant. The views are cool and I often come here in the evenings.
In the day, I also like to come here to eat, but above all for the pleasure of playing here. Usually, you'll find plenty of people about in the early or even the late afternoon. People often come over to see us, probably because this is an area perfect for meeting people. We generally meet here and stay for an hour or two before moving on to somewhere else. And usually people will come over to see us, asking us to sing some song or other. In short, it's fun.

 

When is the best time to come for a stroll along the river banks?

You should come and have a drink on a Saturday or on Thursday evenings. There are always people about and there is plenty to do. And in the evenings, the quays look amazing with the lighting. I think it is a very special place. I had an evening session here the day before yesterday, we were here until three o'clock in the morning, playing the guitar and singing along with people. I love playing outside here, because you can meet lots of people. I don't know what it is exactly, but the atmosphere is just really authentic. It is very different from playing music all alone at home in your bedroom.

 

And what brought you to the riverbank today?

I mainly came here today because of the fine weather. I don't know why exactly, it's something I just love doing. I often used to go into town to play just about anywhere. I generally play music with my friends -- three or four of us get together with guitars and play together. But today, they've left and all of a sudden I've just found myself on my own.
