An authentic Lyon Bouchon
Look for the 'Bouchons Lyonnais' label. Quenelle, tablier de sapeur, and cervelle de canut: the cuisine is honest and generous.
The Traboules of Vieux Lyon
These Renaissance passages cut through buildings. The most famous: the Longue Traboule at 54 rue Saint-Jean.
Fourvière at sunset
Take the funicular up, then walk back down through the Rosaire gardens for the best views over the city.
Les Halles Paul Bocuse
A quick lunch at the city's finest artisans: oysters, charcuterie, and matured cheeses.
A Day in the Beaujolais
45 minutes north: golden stone villages, family estates, and tastings. The perfect Sunday excursion.
