Ideally located halfway between Paris and Marseille, Lyon is known to be the ultimate gourmets paradise. Lyon’s chefs have been using the beautiful products of the surrounding countryside for centuries in the traditional « bouchons », feeding the workers with hearty gratins and offal-based plates as well as in the finest Michelin restaurants. All of them are deeply in love with « cuisine lyonnaise » that you will discover during your tour. The city is surrounded by 3 major wine regions : Rhone, Beaujolais and Burgundy which all make a perfect getaway for a day or more. But Lyon is not just a food and wine lovers paradise, it is also a fantastic place to understand French history. Former capital of Gaul, Lyon has seen it all and proofs are everywhere : undamaged roman theaters overlooking the city, colourful renaissance district with charming cobbled streets lined with cafés and restaurants, former silk weavers district, now the city’s trendy spot, with street art, micro breweries and craftshops, supermodern urban lab district Confluence at the tip of the peninsula, shaped by Lyon 2 rivers...Our tours will show you everything this unique city has to offer.
