One of my favorite things that I did all semester was go to see an Olympique Lyonnais game with Gabby! Olympique Lyonnais is the soccer team of Lyon, and is one of the best teams in France. (Or THE best, depending on who you are talking to haha.) The game was very rowdy, and all of the fans were very into it, with yelling and screaming, and it was impossible to sit for any portion of the game, because everyone stood the whole time. There were many chants and songs that everyone seemed to know to sing or chant at specific times, and some of them occurred over and over, so by the end we had caught on slightly!
Stade de Gerland
We won! (We beat Montpellier!)
Gabby and I got shirts in advance so we could look like true fans!
Overall, we had a great time! It was a very educational French experience, and if I was ever in Lyon again, I would surely attend another game!!
