We wandered into an "open house" at the Lyon hospital (built in 1622) and into a presentation on the restoration of the chapel, a gorgeous dark place, thoroughly embellished with wall paintings. They are undertaking a 7.6 mil euro restoration. I had a momentary language breakthrough during the lecture in progress. And I could actually understand some of what they were talking about, probably because they used terms like objets d'art, and peintures. The rest of the time I recognize (that is not to say understand) every 5th word or so, enough to make a purchase, or understand the watermeter reader.
