France and Spain Travel Review: Paris, Avignon, Barcelona

It would have been nice to have a list of good restaurants in each city, maybe divided up by neighborhoods in the bigger cities, as we had some hit and miss meals. The trip from Avignon to Barcelona seemed very long out of the way. Early train to Lyon had us unable to eat breakfast before leaving, then the transfer from Lyon train station to airport it was recommended to take a taxi (for around 70Euro), but we took a tram which was available every half hour and located right next to the taxi stands outside the train station and only cost 2 x 15Euro (saved 40E). Lyon airport was difficult to navigate and it seemed like quite a process just to board our flight. We were basically exhausted by the time we got to Barcelona. I guess I would recommend avoiding that airport if possible.
