Lyon-A vegetarians nightmare

So Jasmine has arrived and we have toured Rochefort du Gard, Avignon, St. Rémy de Provence and the Luberon.  Now we are in Vienne a small town right outside of Lyon for the 2 day assembly.  Today we drove to and toured Lyon and settled in at our bed and breakfast.  In Lyon we eaves dropped on tour guides and walked around the vieux quartier stopping to eat first at a traditional 'bouchon lyonnais'.  Want to know what is probably ground up and put in hot dogs?  Snout, stomach, veal head,  tongue, knuckle sausage, heart...etc, and they were all on the menu.  Lyon is the food capital of France but boy when you say traditional you are going to be served enough scrap meat to weigh you down for a week.  I settled for the oeuf meurette (poached egg in thick wine beef broth with chunks of ham)-> saucisson-> Fromage blanc.  We got wine and it was served à la lyonnaise in a 'peau' a small wine bottle with a thick glass bottom and a rubber band just under the lip of the top.  

Lyon is a nice town nestled in between the rolling mountain hills of l'Ardeche on the Rhône/Sâone river.  It's a warmer, friendlier, smaller, greener Paris.  It's PACKED with restaurants and also bookshops, candy shops and wine sellers.  It's known for certain types of foods like quenelle, andouillette (tripe sausage), walnuts/chestnuts, salade lyonnaise (Cobb salad), and meat...any kind of meat.  These are the meat and potato eating French.  You can also find lots of fish and cheeses such as Saint-Marcellin and the wine is really good, it's in between the heavy-ness of a Bordeaux and the spice of the lower Côtes du Rhône.  The appellation is Côte-Rôtie and it's major label is Saint-Joseph, it's very expensive. We also found out that the area is famous for a marionette called Guignol, a creepy awful doll that seems to sneek closer up behind you everytime you blink.
