Tchaikovsky in Lyons
Tchaikovsky stayed at Lyons on two occasions:
| From | Until | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 27 June/9 July 1876 | 1/13 July 1876 | Visiting his brother Modest at 3 Place Perrache. Modest was in Lyons in order to study a system of sonic speech that would facilitate better communication with his deaf-mute pupil Nikolay Konradi, then just eight years old. |
| 12/24 July 1876 | 14/26 July 1876 | Returning to Lyons after twelve days at nearby Vichy, the composer set out with Modest Tchaikovsky, Nikolay Konradi and the child's governess Sofya Yershova for a journey by steamship down the Rhône to Montpellier. |
