Lyon —
Nestled between the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon is France’s gastronomic capital and a UNESCO-listed marvel. With its Renaissance old town, grand boulevards, and vibrant cultural scene, this city seamlessly blends history with modern charm. Whether you’re here for the food, the architecture, or the lively atmosphere, Lyon is bound to captivate.
Must-sees:
- Strolling through the Vieux Lyon, a labyrinth of cobbled streets and hidden traboules (covered passageways)
- The breathtaking views from the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière
- A visit to the Musée des Confluences, where science and history collide in a futuristic space
- Tasting your way through Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, the city’s famous food market

Culinary culture:
Lyon is the beating heart of French cuisine, home to legendary bouchons—rustic bistros serving hearty, traditional fare like coq au vin and quenelles. The city’s food scene is also shaped by Paul Bocuse, the late culinary icon whose influence lingers in Michelin-starred restaurants and lively markets. Don’t leave without sampling praline tarts or a glass of crisp Beaujolais.
Dive deeper:

Good to know:
Lyon is well-connected by France’s TGV network, making it an easy stop from Paris or Marseille. The best time to visit? Spring and autumn when the weather is perfect for riverside strolls and alfresco dining.
