Origin of the Species

Reinder took this pic in a neighbourhood orchard “. along the river Saône in Lyon, named after a local heroine Mere Guy”

“In the 2nd arrondissement, the orchard created at Place Général Delfosse was named in honor of Mere Guy. A pioneer of the Meres de Lyon, she opened her restaurant in 1759 on the banks of the Rhône at Mulatière. She serves fish provided by her husband, a traditional fisherman, including her signature dish: eel matelote.” (Apologies for my translation)
