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.
