After looking at the map, and thinking this through, I don't think it would be in our interest to keep Lyon.
We'd take too much of an upkeep hit (it's 6 tiles NW, 2 tiles W, so 11 distance removed for calculating distance upkeep).
We couldn't spare any workers to improve the city immediately and we need to take into account the upkeep hit we'll surely take for Marble city.
So I think we should suggest England to take the original copper site we had sort of agreed upon (2SW of Lyon), and get compensated with the Sheep/Wine site to Singa's south.
That said, I don't know if you guys have thought of which site to take next, and I was thinking of the plains hill to DIM's north as a good candidate for the city after Marble (we can probably finish a settler from Singa just a couple of turns after finishing the settler in DIM for Marble site). It's the plains hill exactly 5 tiles east from Marble (there's recent screenshot at post 606).
It claims grassland cow and a floodplain, which, when farmed would give the city a solid 6 food surplus, and grassland spices once we get Calendar.
Lot's of grassland rivers and hills, so it has the potential to become a pretty good commerce city.
It is also on a hill for excellent defenses and will give us a good forward post towards Inca.
