Begin the journey of Fiorentina in the Champions League. Before travel to Lyon on Wednesday, 17. Here are all suggestions to follow to better the lot and enjoy the charm of the city on the Rhone
MILAN, September 11, 2008 - Part Lyon from the great adventure of Fiorentina, its leader Caesar, of a people in love, happy just to travel imagining that the wait. This is a game not to be missed. For what it represents for the fans after years of suffering, clear, football is love and poetry. But it also wins, points and mathematics. Why, considering the group with Bayern and Steaua, the chances are high that this match is decisive in the final classification, thinking in particular to direct clashes.
GETTING THERE - cost a minimum salary the only direct flights from Florence in Lyon, operated by Air France. From Rome Ciampino 'comes to rescue' Easyjet. Flights every day at reasonable prices. Excellent solution Wednesday 17, the day of the game: 54 euros with departure at 11.50 and arrival at lunchtime, all the time for rassettarsi before going to the stadium to baldoria. The magic of this first European trip of the new Fiorentina begins at the airport: anywhere else in the world are landing at the airport Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the aviator dreamer, Lyon author of 'The Little Prince'.
SLEEPING - Not far from downtown Hotel Stars Lyon-Bron, rue Maryse Bastiè 16 bis. Two stars, perhaps only for tax reasons, because it has everything inside, colorful and welcoming, even the satellite in the Room, for 19 euros per night. It belongs to a chain of hotels with un'accattivante feature: the interior halls and rooms are constructed as on a cruise ship, with a lifesaver on the wall style Love Boat.
Eating - The land of Asterix and Obelix, Brittany, is the tuft at the top left dell'esagono French, the Atlantic. Here we are on the banks of the river Rhone, if not the heart of France, say the liver. But there is none, are still and always Galli (do I joke, means both the Cup remains with us). Lyon is renamed with the typical balance French 'world capital of gastronomy'. When the dishes, the recipes seem to leave the tent Panoramix, the druid that in comics prepared concoctions and potions (perhaps it is no coincidence, since in the stories Panoramix was abducted by Caesar, and in fact, during the war in Gaul, Caesar precisely in Lyon had encamped at length). Mettiamola thus, nothing to say on ingredients: given the position, Lyon gathers probably the best of French production; on how to prepare, we can discuss, we are perhaps at the University of supercondimento French. Salad snails, mess head chopped pork, veal tongue in spicy sauce, cervellata, zampette pork, cake livers, kidneys, until museau, based on chin, lips and cheeks pork or beef. Mettendosi commitment, it could not even get the evening match, eating dishes of gender equality at 'bouchon', the typical trattorias. When the preparation is not as developed, consensus is much broader. Then recommend the Fromagerie Richard Renée and Reneée, father and daughter, cours LaFayette 102, where to go forward throughout the evening in cheese. Or the historic brasserie Georges, 30 cours de Verdun, one of the oldest restaurants in Europe with its almost two centuries, beer and local specialities of the house, which can observe the production live, remaining on a twenty euro for an average meal.
HOW TO MOVE - Benestante, thanks to banking groups and pharmaceutical; full of history and contemporary culture; à la page, and sport is never an indicator random, if it is true that in Lyon we win the Scudetto from 7 years, and we count in Europe, after having been nothing for decades. Net of chaos and grandeur of Paris, Lyon offers large, modern and innovating. Renaissance in the Old Town (see case, the Vieux Lyon is the result of the Florentine bankers emigrants), maze of alleyways interwoven between shops and palaces, united by traboules, covered passages where frotte fleeing partisans during the Nazi occupation. Effervescente in Presqu'île, the peninsula at the confluence between the Rhone and Saona, which is the commercial heart marked with the symbol of the city, the place Bellecour, and dall'eleganza pyrotechnics of places des Terreaux, architecture deluxe which is reflected in the night game d ' water and electricity of 69 fountains. Superb overview of the offers a trip on a bateau-city along the rivers, to gather in one view the Cathedral of St.. Jean, a Gothic symbol of the city and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourniere: of frightening beauty, especially at night, Roman-Byzantine and feels more like a castle that a basilica, the hill overlooking the city, from the same hill from which appreciates because this is the original 'ville lumière'. And speaking, fell from the boat and the hill, do not forget to pass the Institut Lumiere, dedicated not to the lights, but the history and the birth of cinema and its discoverers, Lyon Lumiere brothers.
TICKETS - plays at the Stade de Gerland, stop homonym of 41,044 meters and placed him in the camp. What Mutu heat football placed here has played the famous 3-3 between Italy and Brazil of Ronaldo, on this field Roberto Carlos to France marked the legendary goal on punishment. Two thousand tickets sent to Florence, about 300 still for sale, buy only the presence Coordination Centre Viola Club before the Franks. Prices altini, 37 euros for the lower ring and 57 for the upper, but this looks giocarsela, will not be a trivial game.

ROME, September 11 - Spalletti no longer know that holy voted. In view of the second championship in Palermo, the coach of Roma continues to lose the pieces. In addition, many of the men who will be available at Barbera - Vucinic, Mexes, Aquilani and De Rossi - will arrive tired for the efforts of commitments with the various national. In short, a situation anything but cheerful home giallorossa, where the only smile gives him Taddei, now recovered.
