The Halles Paul Bocuse, named after the famous chef, is the showcase of this know-how where your eyes may prove to be bigger than your stomach…
Let’s open the doors of this temple of gastronomy, where more than 50 merchants pamper the highest-quality products that make the gourmet reputation of the region. On the menu? Crunchy anecdotes, spicy little secrets, delectable recipes from mothers and chefs, and if you are very good, maybe a little tasting. Resisting the temptation will be difficult!
Everyone knows that we eat well in France! It’s even truer in Lyon!
At the crossroads of rich breeding lands, market gardens, fish lakes, magnificent vineyards, Lyon has a wide array of remarkable foodstuffs to offer, marvelously prepared by talented foodies. Taste, flavor, pleasure are key-words in Lyon, capital of gastronomy.
The Presqu’île served on a plate: this very bourgeois district counts some of the best restaurants; from the popular “bouchons” to starred restaurants not to mention a famous culinary institute, everything is carefully prepared to make your mouth water! Resisting the temptation will not be easy…
The Presqu’île – “almost island” – is so called because the district seems wedged between the Rhône and the Saône rivers. It is the bourgeois district of the city, the little Paris, judging by its Haussmann-like architecture. Everything is neat, refined and luxurious. The shopping streets are punctuated with pretty squares, each with its own personality and history.
Let’s cross the peninsula from square to square, starting from Bellecour, the royal square, then to Jacobins, the religious one, to Célestins, the theatrical one, to Cordeliers, the lively one, to Republic, the political one and finally to Terreaux, the cultural one, to discover the city from an inspiring angle. You are going to be spellbound
