Thomas Pesquet: When the moon is up, its light reflects on the snow, and combines with city lights for the most beautiful night scenes I’ve seen so far. Torino, Milano and Lyon!
Quand la nuit tombe, la lumière de la lune se reflète sur les montagnes enneigées et vient danser avec l’éclat des villes. Un des plus beaux spectacles nocturnes qu’il m’ait été donné de voir ! Ici Milan, Turin et… Lyon 😉
