No idea about the travel , as many here I went to Montluçon from St
Chartier
while at the festival . One thing to remember is to watch for guinea hen
( pintade
in french ) on the restaurant menu , since they raise them in the area .
In Paris there are two places to see , first the " Cité de la Musique "
at the site of the
La Vilette old slauther houses , now a nice city park .

There is a youth hostel in the area .
Less known , again in the meat world ..... ( hope you are not vegetarian
)

No
guarantee there will be HDs there on the day of your visit , but it will
be an interesting
experience .

Hello all,
On my way over to the baroque hurdy gurdy course in Switzerland I am
planning to see some things in France. I was planning to go to the
Hurdy-Gurdy and traditional instruments Museum in Montlucon. I was
wondering what the easiest (and cheapest) way to get from Paris to
Montlucon would be, and how do I get from Montlucon to Lyon? All help and
any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Any suggestions as to the best places to experience HG in Paris?
Thankyou kindly,
Jane Ruckert
